Pull out that grill and grab a slab of ribs. Try the Best Rib Dry Rub EVER! This recipe is super simple to make and everyone will ask for more! Great not just on ribs but chicken too!
My husband thinks of himself as a bit of a grilling expert. He loves to pull the grill out and cook dinner for us a couple times a week. This weekend he made some BBQ ribs that I swear were the best I have ever had and it was all because we used the Best Rib Dry Rub we have ever tried.
This was so simple to make and I feel like one batch of this is enough for 2 slabs of ribs. The flavors play so nicely off of each other. The ribs didn’t even need sauce, but we are sauce people so they got it anyway. LOL
Make a delicious side dish for those ribs! Try this yummy Homemade Coleslaw Dressing Recipe! So much better than store bought!
Each bite of the ribs you got the full flavor of the bbq with a hint of spice in the back from the chili and the pepper. I am telling you guys, this is the best rib dry rub EVER! I have even started doubling the recipe and keeping it in a jar in the spice cabinet. This spice rub is even great on chicken and turkey!

The recipe for the dry rub was awesome in the babyback ribs.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a really good rub! I use it on all of the pork I smoke. I do double the brown sugar in my recipe. And I also rub the ribs with yellow mustard before applying the rub. But this is a fantastic rub for beginners.
