Brisket rub

[nickdentist]

Good morning yall. I am going to smoke a couple of chickens and brisket this weekend. I am going to use my own personal BBQ rub on one of the chickens, and use lemon pepper on the other. Both of them are going to have a beer can in their butt. I do not know what to use for rub on the brisket. Can yall give me some suggestions on what to season the brisket with?

Thanks

Might add some savory and or rosemary for beef.

For brisket I prefer not to use much or any sugar. Here's one that I use a lot:

Adjust measurements as needed

2 Tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper - course or ground
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon granulatated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

You can add oregano, rosemary, or other preference as desired to change out the taste a little.

This is one that I like to use:

Texas Smoked Brisket Rub

• 1/4 cup paprika
• 2 Tbsp chili powder
• 2 Tbsp kosher salt
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 Tsp ground coriander
• 2 Tsp oregano

Mix the spices, salt and sugar well
Rub the mixture onto the brisket.
Plastic wrap it and let it rest in the fridge overnight or at least a couple of hours.
