Best Rib Dry Rub Recipe
This rib dry rub recipe makes enough to generously coat two racks of baby back ribs (or about 6 to 8 pounds).
Servings 3 /4 cup
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sweet paprika
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons celery salt
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and whisk until combined. Store the rub in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
- To use, rub the seasoning blend generously into ribs or roasts and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 48 hours before cooking according to recipe instructions.
Notes
Use this homemade rub to slow cook baby back ribs, or pressure cook them in an Instant Pot. I also like to use this rub to season my Chipotle BBQ Ribs. It also works well for grilling or smoking ribs.
You can also double or triple this recipe to keep a big batch of rib rub on hand for grilling season (it also makes a nice gift!).
