BROWN SUGAR BBQ RUB



Brown Sugar BBQ Rub image

This is my favorite rub to use when I smoke meats. I threw it together to use on smoked pork butt, but it also works really well on chicken and ribs. Apply liberally to meat and let sit overnight for best flavor. The brown sugar helps make a nice bark. Makes enough to cover two 8-pound pork butts or 6 racks of ribs.

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bottled chili sauce
1/2 cup bottled hickory-flavor barbecue sauce
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Brush skin side of chicken with sauce from dish; turn skin side down and cook 2 minutes. Brush chicken with more sauce; turn skin side up and grill 2 minutes. Arrange chicken on platter.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, use a combination of brown sugar and smoked paprika in the rub.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply brush it with the BBQ sauce before cooking.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken over indirect heat to prevent it from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
