RUB me the right way: The best barbecue rub recipe you will ever find!

This is by far the most successful seasoning recipe I've ever made.  It’s great on everything from poultry, beef, pork to Lamb. Whenever we are hosting a cookout with family and friends, this is my go-to seasoning. It makes life so much easier when all you have to do is rub this one seasoning over your choice of meat and its ready for the fire. The base of this rub is made from brown sugar so it will melt onto any meat almost immediately after it has been applied, holding all of the other spices intact. It has a sweet smoky flavor with just the right amount of heat. If you want more heat then add more red pepper flakes, it’s that simple. Whatever you do not use, store it in an empty container or small Mason jar. Oh and by the way, it makes for a fantastic holiday gift!
