BBQ MAFIA: The Snitch BBQ Rub - 270g

The chicken rub that sings

Ready for some classic American-style chook? The Snitch from BBQ Mafia takes poultry from plain to properly good — a savoury, lightly spiced rub with just a touch of heat that crisps up beautifully on skin and works a treat on seafood too.

The flavour

Savoury and aromatic up front, a warm mild spice through the middle, finishing clean and moreish. Mild enough for the whole table, with enough backbone to make grilled chicken taste like a takeaway you actually respect.

How to cook with it

• Rub it under and over the skin of a whole chicken and roast or spatchcock for crisp, golden results.
• Toss wings in it before grilling or air-frying, then hit them with sauce at the end.
• Season thighs and marylands generously and cook over indirect heat until the skin bites.
• Dust it over prawns or a firm white fish just before they hit a hot pan.
• Rogue move: shake it into the flour for your next batch of fried chicken.

In the shaker

A savoury, warm-toned medium blend, free-flowing and even, that grips oiled skin and crisps rather than burns.

The Rub Smuggler’s Verdict

The Smuggler reckons the secret to great chook is getting the rub under the skin, not just on it — do that and this one crisps up a treat. Cook it alongside Fancy Hanks Original BBQ Sauce for a sticky glaze, then a dab of Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam on the side for a sweet-hot kick.
