Barbeque seasoning is a combination of salt and dried spices that can be applied to meat before grilling, roasting or smoking. It’s an important element in BBQ recipes for beef, pork and chicken. It’s also used in grilled vegetables and salad dressings. You can find BBQ sauce with a variety of flavors, including sweet and smoky, spicy and zesty or even mild and herby.
Making this dry rub yourself is easy and budget-friendly, allowing you to control the quality of the ingredients that go into it. Most of the spices are pantry staples that you already own. It’s also free from artificial flavor enhancers, such as “natural flavors,” and other preservatives like anti-caking agents. It’s a great alternative to the expensive bbq spice mixes you can find at the grocery store.
Aside from the basic ingredients, you can tweak this recipe to suit your tastes by adjusting the ratios of the spices. For example, you can increase the amount of paprika to create a more savory rub or add a pinch of cinnamon for a sweeter mix. You can also increase or decrease the amount of cayenne pepper to adjust the heat level.
This recipe is perfect for adding to grilled or oven-baked dishes. It’s great on its own as a dry rub for chicken or pork, or it can be paired with our Homemade BBQ Sauce for a sticky, smoky, delicious meal. Try it on spatchcocked chicken or toss the rub into a skillet of Sweet Potato Kale Hash or this Skillet Beef Burger before grilling for a deliciously crispy and flavorful meal.
