Highwayman Rib Rub is a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy BBQ rib rub built for ribs cooked low and slow with smoke and heat. As it cooks, the rub melts into the surface of the meat to create layers of sweet heat, deep umami, and smoky chili barbecue flavor. Unlike a traditional BBQ dry rub for ribs, this rib seasoning transforms depending on how much of it you use. Apply lightly for a tacky, molasses-forward, more traditional finish. Pile it on for a sticky, blackened crust that’s somewhere between bark and glaze. Whether you're cooking baby backs, spare ribs, or St. Louis-style ribs, this dry rub for pork ribs is designed to deliver bold flavor and a memorable finish.
