How to Make Dry Rub for BBQ Meat

This is a great blend of spices that are a tasty dry rub recipe for barbecuing meat or chicken.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/4 cup Paprika
• 2 Tablespoons of Sea Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
• 4 Teaspoons of Superfine Sugar
• 3 1/2 Teaspoons of Dried Parsley
• 1 Teaspoon of Ground Pepper
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon of Ginger

1. Despite what many people believe when meat is soaked in a wet marinade mix it doesn't always become more tender or soak all the flavor from the marinade into it. Many Marinades that contain a lot of the salt can actually dry the meat out making it even tougher than what you begin with. If you use this Barbecue dry rub, just rub it on the meat about 30 minutes before you start it and the natural juices of the meat will make the rub stick to it. While barbecuing if you squirt a little bit of lemon on the meat it also breaks done some of the fibers in the meat that cause the roughness and it prevents the meat from burning

2. You can purchase superfine sugar in the store but, it comes in small packages and is sometimes hard to find. To make your sugar finely granulated, put it in a blender and grind it. Be careful to let the sugar completely settle before opening the blender.

3. Next, add the paprika (sweet if you have it), course sea salt, garlic powder, parsley, pepper (if you have fresh ground pepper use this), ground cinnamon and the ground ginger.

4. Store in an airtight container since salt attracts moisture in a cupboard with your other spices.
