Best Dry Rub For Ribs - Husk BBQ Rub, from Chef Sean Brock's Heritage Cookbook. Go-to dry rub for perfect BBQ every time.
Hands down the best dry rub for ribs recipe in our opinion is Husk BBQ Rub, which can be found in Chef Sean Brock's highly acclaimed Heritage Cookbook. We did a blind taste test of two highly rated dry rub recipes and Husk BBQ Rub was the clear winner in our house.
We used it to make our Oven-Baked Ribs Recipe and Chef Brock's dry rub created a delicious caramelized crust and tender, juicy, fall off the bone ribs. So good!

Ingredients
This easy recipe can be quickly put together from common pantry ingredients:
- Smoked Paprika - Smoked Paprika has a deep smoky flavor and aroma. We sometimes substitute the milder, more common American Paprika. American Paprika is the kind you'll find readily at your local grocery store.
- Light Brown Sugar - Aids in caramelization and browning of ribs.
- Kosher Salt - Morton Kosher Salt is my go-to for this recipe. I prefer its course grain and saltiness when compared with the finer grain, less salty, Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt.
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Ground Black Pepper
- Chili Powder
How to Make Dry Rub
This dry rub recipe is super easy to mix together in just a few minutes. Just combine all the spices in a mason jar, close the lid, give it a good shake, and you're good to go!
The best dry rub for ribs we have found is the Husk BBQ Rub Recipe from Sean Brock's Heritage Cookbook:
½ Cup Smoked Paprika
¼ Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
1 ½ Tablespoons Garlic Powder
1 ½ Tablespoons Onion Powder
1 ½ Tablespoon Ground Black Pepper
1 ½ Teaspoons Chili Powder

How to Use It
Use this delicious dry rub to flavor any meat that you are making. Just cover the meat on all sides with the dry rub and rub it in. You can do this any time you like from just before you cook up to 24 hours ahead of time.
Tasty Tip - It is important that you do not coat the meat with dry rub more than 24 hours ahead of time, as it will cause the meat to dry and toughen.
