Dry Rub

Category: Make it yourself

3 Tablespoons brown sugar
3 Tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika (I like smoked paprika, too)
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon dried thyme
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin (or traditional ground cumin)
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Yield: about 1 cup

This is an excellent dry rub recipe to keep on hand to shorten your preparation time for chicken, ribs, and pork roast. You will need about 1/4 cup of the dry rub spice mix to cover a 4 to 6 pound whole chicken, so this would be good for about 4 uses. It is great on barbecued, grilled, or oven-roasted chicken, poultry, pork, ribs, and spareribs.
