  • 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Grab a Mixing Bowl:

  • Start with a small mixing bowl. Make sure it’s dry and clean to keep your seasoning mix fresh.

Add All the Spices:

  • Pour in the cayenne pepper, light brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, mustard powder, and ground black pepper.

Mix Until Evenly Combined:

  • Use a spoon or small whisk to mix everything well. Take your time—no clumps, no uneven color. The goal is a fully blended seasoning mix.

Transfer to a Jar:

  • Spoon the mix into a spice jar or airtight container. Label it and store it in a cool, dark place. It'll keep for up to 6 months, but trust me—it won’t last that long!
