a traditional dry rub recipe for chicken or pork. This is sufficient to coat 10 pounds of pork roast or chicken, or around 5 to 7 pounds of ribs. Southern Georgians love this kind of rub; you can adjust the heat level by adding additional cayenne pepper by the teaspoon.

This is my go to spice rub now. I put it on rotisserie chickens and spatchcocked chicken. I also just put some on pasta with butter and it was great. My only additions are 2 tablespoons of mustard powder and I add in 50% more onion powder and garlic powder. I also leave off the heat because I have a 4 year old daughter.
Excellent but a bit salty.
Really simple and easy for a begginer cook like me, add honey right at the end of cooking your chicken for extra taste
This rub was amazing. I used it on two chickens I put on the smoker. The flavor works well with chicken, I plan to try the rub with pork another time.
This is our go-to recipe for smoking ribs. After making it several times, we cut the paprika in half and doubled the cayenne to suit our taste.
Delicious and made my chicken delectable
Rub is very good on a smoked chicken. Will have to try it on pork.
Used it on chicken & everyone loved it,,,a lil spicy so if you have lil ones use a lil less cayenne pepper. Tonight I grilled and added a lil avocado oil so it didn’t stick. Worked great TFS !
I made this. It was awesome. Although my family does not like hot stuff, so I cut down the cayenne to 1 teaspoon and the black pepper to 1 tablespoon. It had just the right kick.
I made the rub and added a little oil to marinate my chicken thighs over night in the fridge. The chicken really soaked up the flavor and turned out great!
This is my go to rub for anything chicken! Love this rub!!!!
Great flavor but a little to spicy for me. Next time I’ll use a little less cayenne pepper.
Applied this rub on some chicken drumsticks & my hubby cooked them on the Traeger …..everyone in the family loved it! Even had a picky-eater guest & they loved it as well! This is will now be my go-to dry rub recipe! Excellent!
Gave my food a new experience, It will be a great new experience for. My meals
Enjoyed this rub. Dropped the cayenne a little due to the kids. Worked well on ribs and will use the remainder of it on some chicken.
Delicious! I used this on chicken and it was great! We like things spicy, so I’ll add more cayenne next time, but I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect since we had guests over and we weren’t sure about their spice tolerance.
I made this rub for some barbecued chicken and it was delicious. I made my rub less spicy by using one tablespoon of black pepper instead of two. I also eliminated the cayenne. It was still spicy, salty and a little sweet! Yummy!
I will make again
Spicy, i didn’t but next time i would but back on the salt. Very yummy over all, put on grilled chicken and it was great!
Yum! Great taste. Will use again
My husband loved this rub! He declared it delicious 🙂 I used coconut sugar in place of brown, which worked out great! Cut back on the salt some. Fantastic!!!
