Transform your grilling game with the bold, Texas-inspired flavors of the Rotisserie Rub Lone Star! This perfectly balanced dry rub recipe combines smoky paprika, sweet brown sugar, and a touch of cayenne pepper heat, rounded out by earthy oregano and thyme for a flavor-packed blend that's versatile and irresistible. Ready in just 10 minutes, this easy-to-make rub is perfect for whole chickens, pork shoulders, or beef roasts, infusing your protein with deep, smoky-sweet flavor and a hint of spice. For best results, let the seasoned meat rest before grilling or roasting to allow the spices to fully penetrate. Whether you’re cooking on an outdoor rotisserie or in the oven, this Lone Star-inspired rub guarantees mouthwatering results every time.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin.
Mix thoroughly to create a uniform dry rub.
Pat your desired protein (such as a whole chicken, pork shoulder, or beef roast) dry with paper towels.
Generously apply the rub to all sides of the protein, making sure to massage it into the surface for maximum flavor infusion.
If time allows, let the seasoned protein rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
Cook the protein on a rotisserie or grill according to your preferred method until it reaches the appropriate internal temperature for your chosen meat.
Allow the meat to rest for 10–15 minutes after cooking before slicing and serving for the juiciest results.
