Sweet Smoky BBQ Rub is the perfect rub for ribs, chicken, beef and even seafood. The flavors will pop in your mouth. Indeed, you will want to make a batch of this rub and store it in your pantry. By the way, were you aware that many of the spice blends in the store contain additives such as MSG or salt? Making your own spice blends and rubs may save you money and will add flavor to your home cooking. In fact, this spice blend is beyond yummy.Sweet Smokey BBQ Rub: Some of the rub in a jar and some on a wooden spoon with a bulb of garlic

Sweet Smoky BBQ Rub Recipe:

Needless to say, use it on my Grilled BBQ Baby-Back Ribs. Moreover, this rub imparts garlic, onion, smoky paprika, salt, and sweetness to any meat or poultry it is used on. In any case, this rub will have you licking your fingers. While it works great on anything it is spectacular on pork but especially ribs.

In all honesty, I don’t know what it is but I absolutely adore garlic. Which is why this rub packs a garlic flavor. However, not too strong. Moreover, creating spice blends and rubs is easy. In terms of flavor, this rub will knock your socks off. Not to mention, it is also versatile. Consequently, I often make a larger amount than I need and store in my pantry. That way it is ready when I need it.
