Brown Sugar BBQ Rub

5.0

This sweet pork rub is my favorite seasoning to use when I smoke meat. I threw it together for smoked pork butt, but it also works well on chicken and ribs. Apply liberally to meat and let sit overnight for the best flavor. The brown sugar creates a nice bark. This recipe makes enough to cover two 8-pound pork butts or 6 racks of ribs.
