For enhanced flavor penetration, consider applying the rub at least 2 hours before cooking, or ideally, overnight. This allows the spices to deeply infuse the meat. To customize the level of sweetness, adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. Dark brown sugar can also be used for a richer molasses flavor. Feel free to experiment with additional spices such as smoked paprika, chipotle powder, or mustard powder to create your own signature blend.
