How to Make Beer Butt Chicken Rub

  1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  2. Generously sprinkle the rub onto your chosen protein (chicken, steak, ribs, pork). For best results, pat the meat dry with paper towels before applying the rub.
  3. Allow the meat to dry-marinate, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor penetration.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill according to your preferred method and desired doneness, basting occasionally with your favorite BBQ sauce (optional).
  5. Store any leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
