  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wire whisk
  • Glass jar with a lid

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar or raw turbinado sugar

  • 1/3 cup sweet paprika*

  • 3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons chili powder**

  • 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients in the bowl and whisk together to thoroughly combine.

  • Store the rest of the dry rub in a sealed glass jar and place in a cool dry place for 4 to 6 months.

  • Pour over ribs, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours before smoking.
