After all those April showers we’ve been getting, it is FINALLY time to whip out that BBQ! While it may be easy to throw some BBQ sauce on your meat of choice for an easy supper, try taking some time to create a beautiful dry rub that will take your meats to the next level and taste like restaurant quality. A dry rub can be as simple as salt and pepper, or as elaborate as including garlic, brown sugar and paprika. There’s really no wrong way to do it, but here are a few ideas to get you started this spring so you can be a pro dry rub chef by the summer.

 

1. Buffalo Dry Rub

This sweet and spicy dry rub will help you take your meat game to the next level and have your guests thinking they’re at a southwest steakhouse.
