Notes

For a healthier twist, try swapping brown sugar with coconut sugar or using a sugar-free sweetener like stevia. Don't skip the resting time after applying the rub, as it allows flavors to meld better with the meat. Experiment with different meats like chicken, salmon, or even grilled vegetables to find your favorite combinations. Store your homemade rub in a cool, dark place for up to six months. Enjoy the burst of flavor it brings to your barbecues!
