This is a terrific dry rub that is easy to make and adds a ton of flavor to ribs. This dry rub is equally delicious on roasted chicken and grilled salmon.

This is a fantastic rub. I let it sit overnight with my spareribs tightly wrapped in plastic. I did these slow & low in the oven for 2.5 hours then finished them up on the grill. Fabulous flavor! Read More

I did have to omit the garlic due to an allergy but I don't think it would have improved this much. It's edible but really nothing special and it took a lot of spices to make it. The cooking method did make a nice tender rib though. Read More

Loved this (kids less so). Doubled the recipe for two racks to make it nice and thick. Cut chili powder in 1/4. Changed cooking to 3.5 hours at 225 with grill finish. Mmmmm! Read More

I went by what the rub recommended and was skeptical by the ingredients. Did the rub last night and just got done with dinner. I'll start by saying the ribs were great. Everyone agreed they were very sweet. I think maybe letting them sit over night and then remove a significant portion of the rub and brush with BBQ sauce then wrap and cook. I run mine at 265 degrees for a full 3 hours. Jump them to the grill for 5 on each side and put them out. Read More

This is a review for the rub only since we didn't follow the cooking method. I was a little wary of some of the rub ingredients but our spareribs had a really good flavor. Read More

Good rub - decreased the spice as was for company - used in stuffed ribs. Good flavour. Read More

I took the suggestion of many and cut down on the amount of chili powder. I add too much seasoning salt but that worked out. also added some smoked spice. My boyfriend loved this recipe and devoured them next time i would cook them on a rack. Read More
