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!

How to Use It

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.
