Jamie's Barbecue Rub

I have always loved barbecue. I am fairly certain if I could eat it every day of the week, I would. When I first started getting back into cooking, barbecue was the first thing I gravitated towards because you can take something really basic and make it all your own. Your signature barbecue dish. That is exactly what I have done here, I wanted to find the best combination of spices for barbecuing, and here is my version of perfection.

This is modified from a basic Kansas City Rub, and I have put a few of my own ingredients in here that I am willing to share. The measurements assume you are making a giant batch of this rub, which I would recommend because once you try it you will want to use it on EVERYTHING. However, it works best on pork (ribs, pork chops, pulled pork) and chicken. So here you go:

2/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup smoked paprika

1/4 cup Lawry's seasoning salt

1/4 cup kosher salt

1/4 cup onion salt

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon black pepper

2 tablespoons mustard powder

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon cumin

Once you mix your rub together, store it in ziploc container or a big Ziploc freezer bag and store it in a cool, dry place. 

When you have used this rub, let me know how you like it! Please comment and let me know what you think. Have a great day!
