Equipment

  • 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp ground dried chipotle chili pepper
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp Dry Mustard Powder

Notes

  1. Ingredient Adjustments: Changing the ingredients will alter the taste of this rub, so proceed with caution. It's alright to reduce the cayenne pepper if you prefer a milder flavor.
  2. Smoky Flavor Variation: If not using the rub on a grill or smoker, consider swapping regular paprika with smoked paprika for a delicious smoky taste.
  3. Prepping the Pork: Before applying the rub, pat your pork with paper towels. This ensures even dispersion and prevents the rub from sliding off the meat.
  4. Spice Blend from Cabinet: If using the spice blend from your cabinet, give the container a good shake. This helps distribute the ingredients well before applying them to your pork.
