This is my basic recipe for my rub blend. It gets changed and mixed up a little from time but this basic mix is really good.
4 TBSP paprika
2 TBSP ground black pepper
3 TBSP onion powder
1 1/2 TBSP oregano
1 1/2 TBSP cayenne powder
3 TBSP garlic powder
3 TBSP salt
1 1/2 TBSP thyme
Now, when I do ribs or a pork loin I like it to be a sweet rub so I add in some brown sugar. When I do chicken I will sometimes add in a little lime or lemon zest. If I use it on turkey I will add in some sage and allspice. See how you can mix it up a little? Easy to change so you get a little different taste for different meats. If you don’t have cayenne pepper, substitute with chili powder.

This sounds great. I will have to try it.
If you premix the” Rub Down” how long will it lasts if you put it into a tight lidded container?
I can’t give you an exact time but I know I have kept it in an air-tight container and used it for 6 months after I made it.
Sounds yummy! I’ll have to give it a try!
