Mixture of BBQ smoked cayenne pepper rub in a bowl

Smoked Cayenne Pepper BBQ Rub

This cayenne pepper BBQ rub is a truly fiery spice blend, inspired by the barbecue culture of the American South. The intense heat of cayenne pepper perfectly complements the deep flavor of smoked paprika, while the brown sugar gently balances the powerful spices. This rub is especially recommended for pork and chicken, but is also an excellent choice for beef. During the longer marinating time, the flavors completely penetrate the meat, making every bite a true BBQ experience. If you love intense, spicy flavors, then this rub is the perfect choice for you!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. These ingredients form the rich base of the rub.

    2

    Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, thyme, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

    3

    If using immediately, coat the meat evenly, ensuring it's well covered on all sides.

    4

    Place the coated meat in a resealable bag or container, and refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply.

    5

    Before baking or grilling, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes, ensuring more even cooking.

    6

    While grilling, baste the meat with the remaining rub mixture for a more intense, caramelized flavor.
