BBQ rubs

BBQ rubs are flavorful mixtures of spices and herbs applied to meat before cooking to enhance taste and create a delicious crust. They typically include ingredients like salt, sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and other seasonings. The rubs work by adding layers of flavor, drawing out moisture, and forming a tasty bark during cooking. They can be dry or wet (with added liquids), and vary according to regional styles and personal preferences. Properly seasoned, rubs elevate the natural flavor of the meat, making grilling or smoking more flavorful and enjoyable.
