Cost: $5.00
Equipment
- 8-Ounce Mason Jar (for storage)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar Dark works as well
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix together.
- Using a large funnel or spoon, transfer the rub into a small 8-ounce mason jar. Seal and store in a cool, dry part of your pantry. Will last for 2 months before clumping. Use on grilled chicken or pork.
Notes
For more heat consider using more cayenne. We tested with red chili pepper flakes and the grain size difference from the red chili flakes versus the rest of the rub was not a pleasant texture.
If all you have is granulated garlic (versus garlic powder) use 1 1/2 tablespoons. The granulated garlic has larger grains and won't be as intense.
