How to Use Meat Church Honey Hog Hot
Pat the meat dry before applying the seasoning.
Shake Honey Hog Hot evenly over all sides of the food. Larger cuts such as pork shoulder, ribs and whole chicken can handle a generous coating, while seafood and vegetables usually require less.
Allow the rub to rest on the surface for approximately 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. This gives the seasoning time to adhere and begin developing colour.
Grill, smoke, roast, bake or air-fry using your preferred cooking method.
Because Honey Hog Hot contains sugar and honey powder, monitor it carefully over high direct heat. Controlled or indirect heat can help develop rich colour without burning the seasoning.
Excellent on Pork Ribs
Honey Hog Hot is especially well suited to baby back and St. Louis-style pork ribs.
Apply an even coating to both sides of the ribs and allow the seasoning to adhere before smoking. The sugar, honey, paprika and jalapeño help create a flavourful exterior with a rich barbecue colour.
For a balanced competition-inspired combination, layer Honey Hog Hot with the original Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ Rub.
Honey Hog and Honey Hog Hot Rib Combination
For ribs with balanced sweetness and heat:
-
Apply a light base layer of Honey Hog.
-
Add a second light coating of Honey Hog Hot.
-
Allow the seasonings to rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
-
Smoke the ribs using your preferred method.
-
Finish with a sweet or tangy barbecue sauce if desired.
Use lighter coats when combining the two seasonings to prevent over-seasoning.
Perfect for Chicken Wings
Honey Hog Hot is an excellent choice for smoked, grilled, baked or air-fried chicken wings.
Apply the rub evenly before cooking and allow it to adhere. The sweetness helps create colour, while the jalapeño adds a mild finishing kick.
For additional moisture and flavour, prepare the wings or other poultry with Meat Church Bird Bath Poultry Brine before seasoning.
Great for Pulled Pork
Apply Honey Hog Hot generously to pork shoulder before smoking.
Its sweetness complements the richness of pork, while the jalapeño adds flavour throughout the bark. It can also be paired with Meat Church Hog Injection to add moisture and savoury flavour inside the meat.
After pulling the pork, add a light final sprinkle of Honey Hog Hot for additional flavour if needed.
Try It on Seafood
Honey Hog Hot can also be used on:
-
Salmon
-
Shrimp
-
Cod
-
Halibut
-
Trout
Apply a lighter coating to seafood so the honey and jalapeño flavours complement rather than overpower it.
