During the summer grilling seems to happen so spontaneously. Sometimes it’s just too damn hot to cook inside, other times you find something on sale in the 30% off bin that you know you should cook right away.

But a lot of rubs and sauces that are really tasty are a pain to make on the fly. They have picky ingredients or need 24 hours to let the flavors age. Fuck all that, I want my dollar ninety-nine pork chops now. Which is why I have this simple little rub recipe handy:

• 3 TBS Hungarian paprika
• 1 TBS Kosher salt
• 1 TBS black pepper
• 1 TSP sugar
• 1 TSP chili powder
• 1/2 TSP ground cayenne
• 1/2 TSP garlic powder
• 1/2 TSP onion powder

Those are ingredients I always have ready, it is zero fuss and it works on any meat out there. Chicken to ribs to pork chops(the amounts here are for 4 pork chops, scale accordingly).

Because grilling should be spontaneous.
