Johnny's Coffee Dry Rub

This coffee dry rub combines ground coffee, brown sugar, and spices for a flavor explosion that’s truly incredible!

Johnny, who used to be one of John's sales guys, gave us his favorite dry rub a few years ago. He mentioned that this recipe was inspired by Tim Byres, the chef and owner of Smoke and Chicken Scratch in Dallas. It's seriously so good that there’s nothing to modify—this one’s definitely a keeper!

Don’t worry, a coffee rub doesn’t make the meat taste like coffee. Instead, it brings a savory, deep, and earthy flavor to your meat. Thanks, Johnny! ❤️
