Memphis Rib Rub

Memphis Rib Rub follows the classic sweet-and-savory style associated with Tennessee barbecue. Brown and white sugars form the base and help create a caramelized crust during low-and-slow cooking. Paprika adds deep color, while garlic, onion, cumin, and coriander build savory depth. Black pepper, chiles, thyme, rosemary, and Mexican oregano round it out with gentle heat and herbal notes.
