Ingredients for Bigjay S Dry Barbecue Rub

  • 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked paprika recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • Black Peppercorns
  • Dry Mustard
  • Chili Powder
  • Cumin Seeds
  • Coriander Seeds
  • Kosher Salt
  • Light Brown Sugar

How to Make Bigjay S Dry Barbecue Rub

  1. Toast 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
  2. Allow the toasted seeds to cool slightly.
  3. Combine the toasted cumin and coriander seeds with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked paprika preferred), 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or less, to taste), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
  4. Grind until you reach your desired consistency – coarsely ground for a more textured rub, or finely ground for a smoother finish.
  5. Generously rub the spice mixture all over your chicken before roasting.
  6. Roast chicken according to your preferred method and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
