For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the mix. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of spiciness. A pinch of chipotle powder can also add a delightful smoky heat. This rub is excellent on pork shoulder, beef brisket, and even grilled vegetables. Before applying the rub, lightly coat the meat with olive oil or mustard to help the spices adhere better. Allow the rub to sit on the meat for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator for maximum flavor penetration.
