Preparing the Rub
  1. In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients: brown sugar, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until all ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps.
