Pork Butt Rub
Pork Butt Rub is a smoky, sweet, and spicy dry rub for pulled pork, pork shoulder, ribs, pork chops, and more. Brown sugar, maple sugar, smoked paprika, garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne create a flavorful BBQ seasoning blend that is perfect for the smoker or grill.
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup maple sugar or granulated white sugar; see notes
- ½ cup salt Kosher
- 4 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp dry mustard
- 2 tbsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. Use a fork or whisk to break up any clumps and mix it well.
- Use right away or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- If you do not have maple sugar, you can substitute it with granulated sugar. You can also substitute with granulated honey or additional brown sugar.
- Be sure to use coarse Kosher salt. Regular table salt will make the rub way too salty.
- Store the pork butt rub in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
