Barbecue Spice

  • Serves

    makes 1/2 cup

Hickory House used Cain's barbecue spice blend, no longer made, as its dry rub. This recipe is author Bayless's interpretation of that now unobtainable product.

Ingredients

  • 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 14 cup ground chile, such as ancho, New Mexico, or guajillo, or paprika
  • 4 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano, preferably Mexican
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme

Instructions

Step 1
