How to Use Meat Church The Gospel
Pat the food dry before applying the seasoning.
Shake The Gospel evenly over all sides of the meat, seafood or vegetables. Larger cuts such as brisket, ribs and pork shoulder can handle a generous coating, while seafood and vegetables generally require less.
Allow the seasoning to rest on the surface for approximately 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. This gives the rub time to adhere and begin developing colour.
Grill, smoke, roast, bake or air-fry using your preferred method.
Because The Gospel contains sugar, carefully monitor food cooked over high direct heat. Controlled or indirect heat can help develop colour without burning the seasoning.
Excellent on Ribs and Pork
The Gospel works well on baby back ribs, St. Louis-style ribs, pork shoulder and pulled pork.
Apply an even coating before smoking to create a balanced exterior with sweetness, savoury flavour and attractive colour.
For sweeter pork, layer it lightly with Meat Church Honey Hog. For more pepper and savoury depth, pair it with Meat Church Holy Cow or Holy Gospel.
Great on Chicken and Turkey
Use The Gospel on:
-
Smoked chicken wings
-
Chicken thighs
-
Drumsticks
-
Chicken breasts
-
Spatchcock chicken
-
Whole smoked chicken
-
Turkey breast
-
Whole turkey
For whole poultry, apply the seasoning beneath the skin where possible before adding another light coating to the exterior.
It also pairs well with poultry prepared using Meat Church Bird Bath Poultry Brine or T-Bird’s Chicken Injection.
Ideal for Beef
The Gospel adds balanced barbecue flavour to brisket, steak, tri-tip, burgers and beef ribs.
For a stronger Texas-style beef profile, apply Holy Cow as the first layer and finish with a lighter coating of The Gospel. This combination adds pepper, garlic, sweetness and colour.
Try It on Seafood and Vegetables
Apply a light coating of The Gospel to salmon, shrimp, white fish or other seafood before grilling, smoking or roasting.
It is also excellent on:
-
Potatoes
-
Sweet potatoes
-
Corn
-
Cauliflower
-
Brussels sprouts
-
Zucchini
-
Mushrooms
-
Mixed grilled vegetables
Toss vegetables with a small amount of oil before applying the seasoning.
