How to Make Jamaican Dry Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground allspice, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Generously rub the spice mixture all over your chosen meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.).
  4. Let the meat sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill the meat according to your preferred doneness, basting occasionally with your favorite BBQ sauce (optional).
