How to Make SkinnyMs. Dry Spice Rub

Our Skinny Ms. spice rub is so easy to make! All you need to do is grab a small bowl and add a teaspoon of chipotle chile pepper, dried oregano, cumin, chili powder, ground mustard, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to it. Then, add as little or as much kosher salt as you’d like. Give it a good stir and the best dry rub recipe is ready to use!

Want to make a bigger batch? If you want to use this spice over and over again, you can make more the first time! Simply use a tablespoon of each of the spices instead of a teaspoon.

Best Way to Store Homemade Dry Rub

If you end up with some leftover spice rub or made a bigger batch to begin with, proper storage is crucial to keeping it fresh! Store the unused seasoning in a jar or other air-tight container. Then, place the container in a cool dry place for up to 6 months!
