How to Use Your Fabulous Tasting BBQ Rubs

Homemade Barbecue Rub Recipe

This is how I do it; if you have your own way, carry on doing that...

Liberally sprinkle the mix over your meat and gently rub in to get an even coating. Cover and place in your fridge for at least an hour or, better overnight, to allow the flavours to really penetrate.

An hour or so before your planned cooking time, take out the fridge and allow the meat to return to room temperature.
