Willy’s 2 all purpose BBQ rub

This is our favorite general purpose BBQ rub. We use it primarily for ribs, pork loins, pork shoulder. But it is also great on chicken or large cuts of beef. Pretty easy and economical to mix up at home.

1.5 cup smoked paprika

1/2 cup ground black pepper

1/2 cup coarse salt, either Kosher or Sea Salt

1/4 cup brown sugar

4 tablespoons chili powder

4 tablespoons garlic powder

4 tablespoons onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne (up to 2 teaspoons if you like it hot)

Mix it all together in a bowl. Store covered in a cool, dark pantry.

We also mix up a second batch of Willy’s 2, but omit the kosher salt. Use that rub on meats that have already been dry brined or as a finishing dust.
