How to Make Cajun Spice Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.
  2. Generously rub the spice mixture onto your chosen pork or chicken cut. Ensure all surfaces are evenly coated.
  3. Let the meat rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate (longer is better, up to 2 hours).
  4. Cook your pork or chicken according to your preferred method (grill, bake, smoke) until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 145°F (63°C) for pork.
