Take your BBQ or roasted meats to the next level with this Cinnamon Chile Dry Rub Recipe. Combining warm cinnamon, smoky chile, and subtle sweetness, this rub adds complexity and depth to beef, pork, chicken, or even vegetables.

Why Use a Cinnamon Chile Dry Rub?

This unique blend balances heat, sweetness, and smokiness:

Cinnamon: Adds warmth and subtle sweetness.
Chile powder: Brings smoky heat without overpowering.
Brown sugar: Caramelizes for a crisp, flavorful crust.
Garlic & onion powder: Enhance savory notes for well-rounded flavor.

The combination makes this rub versatile, perfect for grilling, roasting, or smoking.

Ingredients for Cinnamon Chile Dry Rub

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder (or smoked paprika for milder flavor)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Tip: Adjust the chili and cayenne to match your desired spice level.

How to Apply the Cinnamon Chile Dry Rub

Prepare the meat: Pat dry to help the rub adhere.
Generously coat: Massage the rub evenly over all sides.
Rest: Allow at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
Cook as desired: Grill, smoke, or roast until the meat reaches proper internal temperature.

Cooking Tips

Grilling: Medium heat works best; avoid flare-ups by using indirect heat for fatty cuts.
Smoking: Low and slow (225–250°F / 107–121°C) enhances rub penetration and develops a rich bark.
Oven roasting: Roast at 375°F (190°C) until the meat is juicy and tender.
Finishing: For extra crispiness, finish under high heat or broil for 1–2 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Cinnamon Chile ribs with grilled corn and slaw
Roasted pork shoulder or chicken with roasted vegetables
Drizzle with a honey glaze or serve with a smoky BBQ sauce for extra flavor
