Note
Store the dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months for best flavor.
For a milder version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. For extra heat, increase it to 2 teaspoons.
This rub can be used on chicken, beef, pork, fish, or vegetables. Adjust salt content if using pre-seasoned meats.
For best results, apply the rub at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow flavors to penetrate the surface.
