Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika

- 1 tbsp garlic powder

Notes
Rub will last up to 3 months in a tightly sealed jar. I like Weck jars for storing spices.
Customize Your Rub:
- If you like a super spicy rub, bump up the cayenne and/or chipotle.
- If you prefer your rub a little sweeter, add some more brown sugar.
- If you like a mild rub, omit the cayenne and sub regular chili powder for the chipotle.
- Tweak until you find the perfect blend for you!
