How to Use Meat Church Holy Gospel

Pat the meat dry before seasoning.

Apply Holy Gospel evenly to all sides of the meat. Larger cuts such as brisket, pork shoulder and ribs can handle a generous coating, while chicken, burgers and vegetables generally require less.

Allow the seasoning to rest on the surface for approximately 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the rub adhere and begin developing colour.

Grill, smoke, roast or bake using your preferred cooking method.

Because Holy Gospel contains sugar, monitor the food carefully when cooking directly over very high heat. Indirect cooking or controlled heat can help prevent the seasoning from darkening too quickly.

Excellent on Ribs

Holy Gospel is an excellent choice for both baby back and St. Louis-style pork ribs.

Apply the rub evenly to both sides of the ribs and allow it to adhere before placing them on the smoker. Its blend of sugar, paprika and savoury spices helps create attractive colour and a flavourful exterior.

Holy Gospel can also be paired with Meat Church Honey Hog or Honey Hog Hot for sweeter ribs or added heat.

Great for Chicken

Use Holy Gospel on:

• Chicken wings

• Chicken thighs

• Drumsticks

• Chicken breasts

• Spatchcock chicken

• Whole smoked chicken

For extra flavour, lightly season underneath the skin where possible and apply another even coating to the outside.

Holy Gospel also pairs well with chicken prepared using Meat Church Bird Bath Poultry Brine.

Ideal for Beef and Brisket

Holy Gospel delivers enough pepper and savoury flavour to complement beef while maintaining a balanced finish.

Use it on brisket, tri-tip, steaks, burgers, chuck roast or beef ribs.

For a stronger Texas-style brisket profile, apply Holy Cow as the first layer and add a lighter coating of Holy Gospel on top.

Recommended Seasoning Combinations

Holy Gospel can be used alone or layered with:

• Meat Church Holy Cow for a stronger pepper-forward beef profile

• Meat Church The Gospel for a milder all-purpose flavour

• Meat Church Honey Hog for added sweetness

• Meat Church Honey Hog Hot for sweet heat

• Meat Church Holy Voodoo for additional spice

• Meat Church BLANCO for garlic and umami depth

Apply lighter coats when combining rubs to avoid over-seasoning.
