Recipe ingredients
Chances are, you might already have some of these herbs and spices in your kitchen! I like to keep them stocked for easy access whenever I need them.
I use smoked paprika, which is sweet and not hot. If using hot, do use less, or the country-style rib rub might be too spicy.
Cayenne pepper should also be used to taste. Our seasoning mixture is mildly spicy; if you want it hotter, you can add more cayenne pepper to taste. Substitute cayenne pepper with red chili flakes or red pepper flakes (to taste) if you like.

Storage
When stored properly in a sealed container, it can last for even one year. However, for the best flavor, I recommend using it within 4 to 6 months.
Over time, the potency of the spices may diminish, and the flavors might weaken. Check periodically the aroma and taste of the dry rub to ensure it is still flavorful and hasn't gone stale.
