Smoky Spice Rub

Infuse your meats for the grill this summer with this punchy Smokey Spice Rub. It's also pretty amazing on a BBQ Pizza, added to salads, soups and stews! Recipe @LittleFiggyFood
With the true to summer warm weather, our grill seems to be continuously in use cooking everything from the traditional steaks and hamburgers to chicken, fish and just about any veggie. I also can also put down a smoked rack of ribs (recipe to come soon) and let me just add PIZZA to that line up of grilled favs (season your pizza with this spice rub topped with shredded chicken, smothered onions and a bit of BBQ sauce, oh me oh my).

I love to use marinades, sauces and spice rubs to infuse amazing flavor. One of my BBQ’s sidekicks happens to be this Smokey Spice Rub that taste great used with pork or chicken (and pizza!).

The smokey spice rub is a great way to give your slow cooker dish a bit of grillin’ flavor. I have been known to use it smothered all over a pork roast and prepare it to perfection in the slow cooker, which makes an incredible Pulled Pork Sandwich! Nice 🙂

If you enjoy that smokey flavor that you get when you dive into a grilled piece of meat, then you should give this a try. It’s ridiculously simple to make up and you should be able to get at least 2 – 3 uses out of it, just keep it stored in an airtight jar kept in your spice cabinet and you’ll be ready to go with that BBQ.
