All Purpose BBQ Rub Recipe for Pork and Chicken

I developed this BBQ rub recipe based on a flavor profile I liked: namely a salt oriented rub (not salty) that incorporated plenty of chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder.

To the base I added allspice for that Jamaican jerk component, and cumin because I believe it marries well with pork.

I also developed this as an all purpose rub for our restaurant to work with our chicken products. So this recipe is either a great pork dry rub or chicken dry rub.

I believe it is a great all purpose rub!

At the restaurant, we used to supplement a handful (not really big into measuring things!) of brown sugar per rack of spareribs or baby backs.

This gave the ribs a slightly sweet tinge against the rub.

We smoked the ribs then at 200 degrees over oak, hickory and pecan for 4-5 hours depending on the individual rack. This recipe is scalable.

As you can see, these are restaurant amounts! Good luck and good rubbing!
