Ribs Spice Rub

This Ribs Spice Rub is a dry rub, and is perfect for flavoring those Baby Back Ribs you are going to cook up! Full of flavor, not too salty, and a compliment to your favorite barbecue sauce. It has just a little kick of heat, but you can double up on the cayenne pepper to make it hotter, if you like the heat!

I use this Ribs Spice Rub on my Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs, or on ribs that I’m going to grill or throw into the smoker. This rub is also very good on Country Style Ribs and Pulled Pork. When I make ribs in my house, the boys come running!

I also use Ribs Spice Rub on my Pulled Pork Recipe

I usually make a double batch and store it in a mason jar in the pantry.
