Barbecue Dry Rub

If you’re like me, you tend to forget to plan time for marinating. Enter the dry rub. Just rub it into the meat and then grill, broil, or roast— no need to plan ahead. Take this recipe as a framework: it has the smoky, sweet, and spicy basics, but you can add in other flavors or increase the heat (this rub is on the mild side).
