Notes
This rub makes about 3 tablespoons, which is enough for 4 large bone-in pork chops. A good rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of rub for every pound of meat.
- Use fresh spices if possible.
- Store any leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
- Make extra pork rub so you have it on hand when you need it.
- Use the rub on any pork dish, even chicken.
- Use apple wood pellets when smoking pork, the apple flavor really complements it!
