Rub for Chicken and Pork
Pork and Chicken Rub is a basic rub recipe that brings out the full flavor of the meat. A rub is a tastier and less time-consuming alternative to marinating meat and it's not that difficult to do.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Whisk all dry ingredients together, and pour into an airtight container. You do not need a lot of rub for either chicken or pork, so just pour out a little into a separate bowl.
- Coat each piece of chicken or pork into the bowl with olive oil, in order to make the rub stay on.
- Then, using your fingers, spread the rub lightly over the meat. If you want to cover both sides, which is preferable, hold the meat up over the baking pan with a knife or some thongs, and coat away.
- Although it's called a rub, you don't really have the rub the seasonings in, although some perfectionists say it's required. All you need do fundamentally is add the spices, and it depends on how thick you want the outer coating to be.
- If you just want the rub as flavor, then simply add it with your fingers. If you want a thicker coat, then put the oiled meat on top of a plate of rub and pat the meat over the rub until it becomes coated.
Notes
The sky is the limit for creating a rub. Here we presented the basic recipe, but you can add cinnamon, hot peppers, coriander or cloves to give your rub a great kick.
