How to Make Kansas City Style Dry Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Generously coat your ribs (or chicken) with the dry rub, ensuring even coverage.
  3. Wrap the ribs tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  5. 30 minutes before cooking, remove ribs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.
  6. Cook ribs using your preferred method (smoking, grilling, baking). Adjust cooking time based on your chosen method and desired level of doneness. Internal temperature should reach 190-200°F for ribs.
