Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal kosher salt)
4 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Combine all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer to an air tight serving container (like a mason jar or other dry rub container). Will keep for up to a year if sealed tight and kept in a cool place.

Notes

This yields about 2 1/2 cups. I know that's not the perfect 1:1 ratio. That ratio is meant to be a starting point. You start with that, then add to adjust flavors to your personal preferences. We love savory flavors, so go a little heavier on that S.

Make a large batch of this and you've got it ready to go all summer long.
