Here are some variations for you:

Sweet Heat Rub: For a sweeter flavor profile, just mount the amount of brown sugar. For an additional warmth and depth, you can also add cinnamon or nutmeg. Cinnamon will also add its mysterious spiciness to the rub.

Smoky Chipotle Rub: swap the chili powder with chipotle powder for a smoky flavor. You can also use smoked paprika for extra depth and complexity.

Citrus Spice Rub: For a tang and zing, add the citrus zest to the rub. Citrus-infused salt also works well.
