This recipe is adapted from the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que All American Roadhouse Cookbook. I love their restaurant in Rochester, New York. Lucky for me, I have family that lives there! I can always count on a dinner at Dinosaur when we visit. This is a great BBQ rub to put on anything you want to grill. I love it on boneless chicken breasts. Grill the chicken with the rub and then halfway through, slather with your favorite BBQ sauce.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup garlic powder
- 6 tbsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
I place all the ingredients in a good size (32oz) air-tight plastic container. To make sure the brown sugar is properly incorporated, use your hands to mix it together… put the lid on and give it a shake. That’s it! Use what you need, then store it in your pantry. Although Dinosaur doesn’t indicate a shelf-life, I’ve kept mine for more than a month and it’s perfect.
