How to make BBQ Seasoning | Easy Recipe

[@michaelford6637]

I just made this rub..it tastes good! Thank you.

[@Dancingsingingbaker]

I made this and mixed with rice flour - dust my chicken and fry - it’s delicious and thank you

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Great idea!

[@Azurko]

Very nice rub mix! I would say nix the salt, just because salting should be a separate action. That way you can salt correctly and add as little or as much spices as your heart desires :)

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That is actually really solid advice. I can definitely agree. I wonder why some rubs you buy in the store have salt in them? I wonder if the salt acts not as I preservative than for flavor enhancement? I'll have to research this to learn more!

[@Azurko]

@@Nicks-BBQ That part is simple, of all things that go into commercial rubs, salt is by far the cheapest and takes up a fair amount of space in the bottle. If you look at the label, salt is usually the first thing listed.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

@@Azurko makes sense! You sir, are very intelligent!!

Planning to cook spare ribs I will try this rub. Thanks

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I hope they turn out amazing!

[@anisnajwa1886]

..Greetings from Malaysia...just try this rub on chicken...the best is on grill,frypan for chicken chop & oven...funny things is my mom accidently take my marinated chicken with this rub and deep fried in frying pan...honestly,its so delicious and taste like indian fried chicken cuisine 😅

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That's awesome! So glad you guys enjoy it

[@PoeLemic]

So, to help everyone ... here is Nick's recipe ... 4 TBS Salt --> not sure if it is Table Salt or Kosher Salt ... [In the above, I asked Nick what it was.] --> Also, seems like a lot of salt, unless it is Kosher Salt. You sure this is right measurement? 4 TBS Brown Sugar 4 TBS Paprika 2 TBS Garlic Powder 2 TBS Onion Powder 2 TBS Chili Powder 2 tsp Cumin 1 TBS Black Pepper 2 tsp Cayenne

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Sea salt

Didn't he say 2 tbsp of cumin?

[@sheepsfoot2]

@@Nicks-BBQ what about pink Himalayan salt ?

[@cowboyblacksmith]

definitely gonna make this! I may mix well like you then rub it through a strainer. I plan to try on dehydrating sugar snap peas for awesome "chips" snacks. Thanks for the recipe, have everything and it’ll save me $$$.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That's awesome! After you make this you can tweak it to match the flavor profile you like. I always change a little something till I find the perfect blend. This has a more smoky flavor because of the cumin and chili powder. I know out people would like more brown sugar and less cumin and chili powder to give it more of a sweet flavor. Glad you liked the video and hope it goes well for ya!

[@brandoncarroll8000]

Looks real good bro keep it up! I try to do alot of the recipes that you do and they turn out very good 👍 thank you!!

[@user1233002]

Excellent video. Yes, I enjoy making my own rubs and sauces. Loved watching you explain what and why. I also don't want sodium in my bought rubs. I like to brine and dry brine my proteins. SO many rubs that say "NO SALT" lists Sodium. That's salt. I don't like that. I've been mixing my own rubs for years now. My biggest influences are Ry and Malcolm How To BBQ Right. I really love your recipes. I will be keeping an eye on your upcoming videos. Cheers from Chuck in the Arizona Desert.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I love Malcom too! I've learned a lot from him and a handful of other youtubers. Glad you liked the video!

[@lilasdavis102]

Going to try this rub - making homemade BBQ freeze dried potato chips (will omit the cayenne for this though).

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Yeah if you're not into spicy no cayenne lol

[@rbrown2895]

Love the explanation and quantities! I just got done smoking some ribs and they turned out WAY too salty. I added too much salt and plus the rub had salt. Thanks!!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks! You may have a sensitivity to salt. My wife always tells me the food I make is too salty and I love it lol. if you use the recipe and like it let me know :D

[@christopheroconnell3479]

Would taking the garlic powder out make much of a difference as i am a person who hates garlic

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I personally don't think you'd even notice. If you've ever bought a premade store rub they all have garlic. But otherwise no I don't think it would make much of a difference.

[@tylee3434]

I have a robbed that's similar, sometimes I forget to put Garlic in it doesn't make much difference

👌keep at it buddy,doing great!

Hey man new subscriber here can you do a video on the cleaning maintenance with the Austin xl....I'm buying one tomorrow and I'm super excited

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That sounds like a great video idea. Thanks for the idea! I'll definitely add that to my list. I hope you enjoy it! My family has def been blessed by all the meat lol. Also thanks for subscribing! welcome.

[@PoeLemic]

@@Nicks-BBQ Hey, also, you could make a video about how you Prep to get the unit ready and then how you clean it up. Because, I have a system that I developed, and it sure makes cooking much easier. If you make a video, do it in two parts. Like show how the unit is turned-off, then walk us through your prep it to cook. Then, once it is finished cooking, show us what you do afterwards.

[@turrab3702]

Hey nick I loved your recipe Can I use it with french fries 🍟? Please reply

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I have never tried. You can give it a shot. Maybe make a batch half the size that way if you don't like it it's not a big waste.

[@neesa1608]

is it necessary to add some dry parsley / oregano or rosemary ? or how if i add some? will it taste good?

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I don't think it's necessary. Those seasonings typically don't go into a bbq rub. If you're smoking chicken I think you could get away with it. Definitely not pork or beef though.

[@julianafashion0707]

What is chili powder made of? In my country I can't find it in any store around. I'll be really thankfull to know...

[@Nicks-BBQ]

It's base is ground red chili's. You can use any ground pepper. Ancho chili Chipotle chili's. Or you can add in a little extra paprika. You'll be fine without it. I've had bbq rubs with just sugar salt and pepper and loved it lol. Hope this helps.

[@RandomInternetProfile]

Seasoning won’t really go bad in the sense that it’ll make you sick, but you will gradually lose the intensity of the flavor profiles over time.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Sweet info thanks!

[@winnieholtermann-jensen58]

Would be nice with the recipe on the side panel

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I agree. I'll work on getting that added to the description box of the video

Nick -- also,l is the SALT kosher salt? Or, is it table salt? Please answer when you can ... please, do it quickly. Thank you.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I used sea salt

[@Umair_56]

Can we use it for fries

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That would be interesting. I've never tried it before. I would go light on the coating and see if you like it

[@PoeLemic]

[After multiple re-watches, I figured out the recipe. It is listed above. Nick -- ignore any suggested fix for the video.] At 3:50, you didn't tell us how much Cayenne to put into it. There last tier isn't equal portions, and we don't know how much cayenne. Maybe it's later ... Okay, 2 tsp at 5:40.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Ok

Cayenne makes it super hot, doesn't it? I mean I can avoid this spice cause I am not a fan of hot stuff

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Large amounts make it really spicy. Small amounts add warmth. If you're not into spicy at all though I'd use no cayenne and change the ratio of chili powder and brown sugar. Use more brown sugar and less chili powder

Your recipe is 20% Salt, that's way too salty, man! Yikes!!!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think it is? Traditional Texas BBQ is just salt and pepper. That is 50 percent salt and 50 percent pepper. Or some do 2 parts pepper one part salt. I think it comes down to how heavy you coat something. Have you ever smoked a brisket or pork butt? I put a lot of salt on them and don't think its too salty.
