Tips & Tricks (5)
- Rub Ratio Mastery 🌶️Always mix your dry rub ingredients in a 3:1 ratio of dry spices to sugar to prevent burning and achieve the perfect caramelization.
- Storage Precision 🏺Store your homemade BBQ rub in an airtight glass container in a cool, dark place to maintain potency for up to 3 months.
- Moisture Magic 💦Lightly pat your chicken with paper towels before applying the rub to ensure maximum spice adherence and create a perfect flavor crust.
- Custom Heat Control 🔥Adjust the cayenne pepper quantity to control the heat level - start with 1/2 teaspoon and increase gradually for your desired spice intensity.
- Flavor Layering Technique 🧂Apply the rub generously and let it sit on the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking to allow the spices to penetrate and enhance the meat's flavor.
