Recipe Notes
This recipe also works with chicken.
Spice Rubs are King
Whenever I’m building a recipe I have a flavor profile in mind, and I usually have some sort of spice mix that I’ve concocted to go with that profile.
Over the years I’ve created hundred of spice mixes. My favorites have stuck around – I use those over and over again. I make ’em up in batches and usually have a metric ton on hand at all times!
This recipe calls for my signature BBQ spice rub, probably one of my most requested recipes.
The barbecue spice rub is so flavorful that you can easily get away with adding a few tablespoons to whatever meat you’re making and then just cooking it. This might mean baking it OR grilling it OR even just putting it in a pan with a little bit of coconut or avocado oil.
One of my favorite ways to use the BBQ spice rub is in the slow cooker with a pork shoulder. Hello, pulled pork heaven! You can get the recipe here!
A batch of our signature spice mix. On hand – ALL THE TIME! A quick and tasty trip to flavor town.

In all seriousness, all humans (and most dogs) love the Fresh Peach-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce. If they don’t, we highly recommend that you remove them from your inner circle. Uhhhh, because those people are just weird!
Barbecue sauce is really easy to make. It does have to cook for a long time but it’s worth it!
