Props to SVilleKid. Excellent sounding rubs.
Courtesy of my cooking hero, Alton Brown, I took this recipe from one of his shows and adapted it. It is a wonderful balance of tangy, sweet heat.
8 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice
Rubbed both sides of a rack of ribs, cooked it in the oven for 3.5 hours at 300 degrees.
