As I sit here with my laptop and a notebook try to come up with a menu (and shopping list) for the kids birthday party (all while fending off a rambunctious 11 month old who wants to pound on the keyboard) I realize I neglected to post the rub recipe that goes with the barbecue sauce. They really do go together.
Use less cayenne (or leave it out) if you aren't a fan of spicy. We've used this on ribs, pork and even a whole chicken I attempted to rotisserie (which was an experience in itself).
Kansas City Rub
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup mild New Mexico red chile powder
1/4 cup mild paprika
2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons freshly-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1/2 tablespoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Combine sugar, Chile powder, paprika, salt, pepper, onion, garlic and cayenne together and rub about 2/3 of the mixture well into the ribs (or chicken or pork for pulled pork). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
This covers about 4 racks of ribs.
