5. Memphis Rub
In Memphis, sometimes ribs are served without a sauce. This means the rub has to carry its weight in terms of flavor. This Memphis rub is great on ribs, but can also be used on virtually any smoked meats prepared on the grill or in the oven. To make this rub, you’ll need paprika, garlic powder, mild chili powder, salt, black pepper, onion powder, celery seeds, brown sugar, dried oregano, thyme, cumin, dry mustard, ground coriander, and ground allspice.
