Created in collaboration with the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, Spicy & Smoky Grilling Rub is built for big, confident flavor. It’s the kind of seasoning that tastes like a perfect grill day — spicy, smoky and deeply savory, with just enough tang to keep things lively.
This blend brings together warm heat and rich smoke in a way that feels bold but balanced. It works beautifully as a dry rub, but it’s just as good sprinkled generously right before cooking. Whether you’re firing up the grill or working with a hot oven, it delivers that unmistakable barbecue energy.
Use it on chicken, steak, ribs or tofu, or rub it onto vegetables before roasting. It’s a go-to blend for outdoor cooking, but it doesn’t mind staying inside when the weather turns.
Ingredients
Black Urfa chili, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, chipotle chili flakes, fennel
Cooking tips
