KOSMOS Q: Dirty Bird Sriracha Rub – 312g

Sriracha, in a shaker

The Dirty Bird you love, gone Thai-style. Kosmos Q Dirty Bird Sriracha packs that sweet-tangy sriracha hit — chilli, garlic and a bright vinegar zing — into a dry rub that goes on just about everything.

The flavour

Sweet and garlicky up front with a bright vinegar tang, then a rolling sriracha-style chilli warmth. Punchy and moreish rather than brutal — the kind of heat you keep reaching for.

How to cook with it

• Dust generously over wings or ribs before cooking, or shake on after for a fresh hit.
• Smoke, grill, air-fry or bake — the vinegar and chilli love crispy skin.
• Go beyond the bird: chips, popcorn, fried rice, noodles and eggs.
• Pair with a hot-honey drizzle for sweet-heat wings.

In the shaker

A red-orange rub with a fine-to-medium grind and a tangy, garlicky aroma. Heat sits around 5/10 — a bright sriracha warmth with a vinegar edge.

FAQ

Why is it so cheap? It's on runout because it's reached or passed its best-before date, so it's heavily discounted. Best-before is a guide to peak quality, not a safety cut-off — every product is quality-checked before it ships and is still perfectly good to use.

How hot is it? Medium — a bright sriracha-style chilli warmth with a vinegar tang, more moreish than fierce.

What's it best on? Wings and ribs are the classics, but it genuinely goes on everything — chips, rice, noodles and eggs included.

Can I use it after cooking? Yes — it's great shaken on as a finishing seasoning as well as a pre-cook rub.

Where is it made? Made in the USA.

The Rub Smuggler’s Verdict

Darryl’s tip: dust the wings, cook them crisp, then finish with a drizzle of hot honey for that sweet-heat combo. Build the plate with Boomas Boomtang BBQ Sauce and spoon over Uncle Mungos Crispy Chilli Oil for crunch and extra tang. The whole Kosmos Q stash is worth a raid.
