Ingredients:
8 Tbs. light brown sugar tightly packed (Splenda for low cal. low carb.)
2 Tbs. Kosher or Sea salt
1 Tbs. Paprika
1 Tbs. Garlic Powder
1 Tbs.
Black Pepper
1 tsp. Ground Cayenne Pepper (2 tsp. if you like it a
little spicy)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
A spice grinder will work well.
Note:
If you plan to inject your meat, this should be
done prior to applying the rub to prevent it from being washed off during
the injecting process.
Rubs should be applied evenly and moderately. Too
much will over power the flavor
of the pork. For the best results,
a rub should be absorbed but this does not mean you
need to rub it into the meat. Rubs should be applied to moist, thawed meat
(preferably under and over the skin of fowl) at least 3 hours
prior to cooking. It
will have a
maximum effect if you apply the rub 24 hours before hitting the fire. This
allows the rub's ingredients to mix with the meat's natural juices, absorbing
into the meat like a marinade.
Wrap the meat tightly with foil, or place it in your favorite
non-reactive container (Tupperware), and place it in the refrigerator to
rest.
Take the meat out about an hour prior to cooking so it can reach room temperature.
This will help considerably to shorten the smoking time.
