How to Make Ainsley S Barbecue Spice Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.
  2. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Generously rub the spice mixture onto your chosen meat (chicken, beef, pork, etc.).
  4. Let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  5. Cook your meat according to your preferred method. For chicken on a George Foreman grill, cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
