This was my go to rub years ago after many requested how I made it. One day, I finally took the time to document it. Some friends still use this recipe all of the time.
Rib Rub
You will need 1 box of Granulated Light Brown Sugar (14 oz.)
Pour into a gallon ziplock bag (in order of ingredients listed):
1/3 Box granulated light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
4 tablespoons chili powder
1/3 box granulated light brown sugar
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
4 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground mustard
4 tablespoons cinnamon
1/3 box granulated light brown sugar
(You may need to adjust the rub accordingly to your tastes. The rub should taste sweet first, and then you should feel a lit bit of spice afterward).
Shake thoroughly.
Cut down or eliminate the cayenne if you don’t like things spicy. Domino quit making the granulated light brown sugar. You can use turbinado sugar. You can also use regular brown sugar but it clumps and may burn easier if you are cooking at a higher temp about 275°.
