    Sweet Garlic & Onion Rub

    Sweet Garlic and Onion Rub is a flavorful addition grilled meats. A delicious blend of spices and brown sugar that makes the best pork chops, chicken, vegetables and more.

    This easy dry rub is the best flavor combination of flavors. We have used it to grill pork chops and whole chickens, sprinkled it over baked potatoes and added it to pasta. Actually, we can't get enough of it!

    Bowl of Sweet Garlic and Onion Dry Rub

    1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and use a large tined fork to combine, breaking up any small clumps of brown sugar.
    2. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. Best if used within 3 months. Stir with a fork before using to mix it up if brown sugar has set up.

    Tips for Using Dry Rub Seasoning for Grilling:

    • Pat your meat dry with paper towels.
    • Drizzle meat with olive oil, rubbing into an even coating. We've started using this Oil Sprayer  for prepping meat that we are grilling. It actually sprays, not a fine mist and works really well.
    • Sprinkle rub over meat and press into the meat before grilling.
    • Allow meat to rest about 30 minutes before grilling.

    We love using a dry rub for grilling everything from steaks, pork chops to chicken. If you like a spicy kick, give our Best Dry Rub a try. It's sweet with plenty of garlic flavor and a touch of red pepper.
