Variations & Tips
Feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more or less cayenne pepper. For a smoky flavor, try incorporating smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or sage, to create a unique blend. If you prefer a sweeter rub, increase the amount of brown sugar. These spice rubs make wonderful gifts for friends and family, especially when presented in decorative jars with handwritten labels.
