Grilling Rub Recipe Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (be sure to press/break up lumps)
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Sidenote: This is a rub, not baking, so feel free to adjust as needed. I actually lowered the salt in mine due to my high blood pressure.

You will also need a funnel and some sort of tube or glass to hold your rub to give as a gift.
