Tips:

Use a variety of chili peppers. Different types of chili peppers offer different flavors, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular choices include ancho, guajillo, and pasilla.
Toast the spices before grinding. Toasting the spices will bring out their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Use a coffee grinder or spice grinder to grind the spices. A coffee grinder or spice grinder will give you a fine powder that will evenly distribute the flavors of the rub.
Apply the rub to the meat at least 24 hours before cooking. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and develop.
Cook the meat over low heat. Low heat will help the rub to caramelize and develop a delicious crust.
