Brown Sugar Dry Rub for Pork
The sweet, spicy, savory, & salty blend of seasonings in this spice rub pairs perfectly with pork chops. The combo of dried herbs & spices adds so much flavor to any cut of pork including boneless or bone-in chops whether thick or thin. Rub this all over the meat, let is set, & then cook pork chops your favorite way - great for BBQ grilling, smoking, baking, pan-frying, or roasting.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika sweet, hot, or smoked
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground sage
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for a very spicy blend!
Instructions
- Measure all the ingredients carefully & add them one by one to a small mixing bowl.
- Stir to combine.
- If not used immediately, store it in a reusable glass spice jar or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Store in a cool & dry place for up to 6 months.
- To use immediately, rub the spice blend all over the pork chops. TIPS - Make sure the meat has been patted dry so the dry rub will stick to the meat, fat, or bones. It is also best applied to room temperature pork.
- Let the dry rub "marinate or work into the meat" for at least 30 minutes and up to 1.5 hours before cooking.
