Notes

- When coating ribs in ribs rub, make sure to pat the rub in very well! You don't want a light sprinkling- you want it well coated and rubbed into the meat.

- You'll want to cover all sides of the ribs. It's never a bad idea to make extra rub if the ribs are large.

- For best results, let the rubbed ribs refrigerate overnight to really get infused with flavor!

- This rib rub is delicious on all sorts of pork! Feel free to add it to pork shoulder, pork butt, or baby back ribs.
- Don't forget to whip up a big batch of my very favorite BBQ Sauce to go with!
