Rib and Chicken Dry Rub

A BBQ and grill spice rub recipe that works really well with pork and chicken.
Spice rubs are the mainstay of most grill and bbq recipes. Most of us take the easy road and buy readymade from the grocery store... but with very little effort you can become a grilling star by making your own. The taste is fresher, and you can tweak them to suite your taste and become your signature. Take this recipe as a starting point, and make changes along the way to make it your own. You can also easily scale this up to make more, and store it in an airtight container for the entire grilling season.
