Looking for a last-minute gift for dad? This is quick, easy, and useful. Our grilling rub recipe makes a fab wedding favor, too. Take a peek!

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.

Grilling Rub Instructions

• Layer all ingredients into the jar you are using.
• Mix together OR leave as layers with instructions to mix before using as a rub. The layers are really pretty!
• Use as you would any rub for meat or grilling and enjoy!
