Interesting Facts

  • The brown sugar in the rub helps create a caramelized crust on the ribs.
  • Using a rub allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, unlike a marinade which only flavors the surface.
  • This rib rub can also be used on other meats like chicken or pork chops for a flavorful twist.
  • Experiment with the spice levels by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste.
