This quick and easy dry rub for ribs is such a simple recipe and it lasts up to 6 months in the cupboard! Use it to add a delicious layer of flavor to anything you grill or smoke!
You can totally customize this recipe to make it your own! Feel free to add more or less of your favorite flavors and notice how it subtly changes the overall flavor of the recipe and the taste of the ribs. This is a great blueprint for you to use as a starting point and once you get comfortable you can jazz it up as you wish!
Don't worry about the recipe being sweet. There is a decent amount of sweetness from the brown sugar in the rub but all the other spices and a moderate amount of salt balance out the flavor. The sugar will add a delicious molasses flavor.
