How to Make Kansas City Bbq Rib Brisket Rub

  1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk thoroughly to break up any clumps.
  2. Pat your chosen meat (brisket, ribs, chicken, pork, etc.) completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the meat generously with olive oil, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the BBQ rub over all sides of the meat, pressing gently to adhere the spices.
  5. Let the meat rest, uncovered, at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate (longer is better!).
  6. Grill, smoke, or slow-cook your meat according to your preferred method and recipe. Enjoy the incredible flavor!
  7. Store leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
