Ever wonder how to take average run-of-the-mill barbecued ribs and make them out-standing!? Try using this simple to make dry rub on your next ribs, whether smoked, grilled, or baked, this rub will make them so much better!

I put this rib rub recipe together back in 2004 when I was doing a lot of experimenting with sauces and rubs. It’s been with me ever since for a good reason. You can use this rub alone or with pretty much any sauce you want. A must-try!

Place your rib rack onto a large cookie sheet or an area that can catch the dripping from the meat as it marinates. Generously apply this rub to both sides of your rib rack and cover it with plastic wrap for about an hour until the meat absorbs the goodness.
