Every good rib recipe should start with a dry rub. This is my Basic BBQ Dry Rub spice blend. Warm, sweet, spicy, it does the job and can be altered to suit your tastes with other spices. This Basic BBQ Dry Rub is the one to use as a base.
To make the rub: mix the salt, brown sugar, pepper, paprika, onion and garlic powders, dry mustard, celery salt and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and mix with a small whisk or your gloved fingers to break up any lumps.
Wear latex gloves (optional) and sprinkle dry rub over both sides of the ribs, rubbing it onto the meat. Cover the ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for 2 hours minimum or best overnight. Cook your dry rubbed meat per your recipe directions.
