Sweet BBQ Flavour with Honey

Honey Hog is built around a sweet BBQ flavour profile that includes honey powder along with sugar, salt, paprika, garlic and complementary spices.

The result is a seasoning that's particularly well suited to pork and poultry, where sweetness and savoury seasoning can work together throughout the cook.

It's a great choice when you want a sweeter BBQ rub rather than a pepper-heavy or highly savoury seasoning.

Made for Pork Ribs

Pork ribs are one of the signature uses for Honey Hog. Apply an even coating before smoking or grilling to bring sweet honey BBQ flavour and impressive colour to baby backs, side ribs or spare ribs.

Its sugar and honey-forward profile makes Honey Hog particularly suited to traditional sweet-style barbecue ribs.

Perfect for Pulled Pork

Honey Hog is equally at home on pork shoulder and pulled pork.

Season the outside of a pork butt or shoulder before a long, slow smoke to add sweet and savoury flavour to the exterior of the meat.

Once the pork is pulled, those seasoned exterior pieces mix throughout the meat for flavour in every serving.

Beautiful BBQ Colour

One of the characteristics Meat Church highlights about Honey Hog is the colour it produces during cooking.

The combination of sugar, honey powder, paprika and other seasonings helps create an appetizing BBQ appearance on ribs, pork and poultry as they cook.

Excellent on Poultry

Don't limit Honey Hog to pork. Its sweet profile works exceptionally well with chicken and turkey.

Try it on smoked chicken thighs, wings, drumsticks, whole chickens or turkey whenever you want a sweeter barbecue flavour.

Meat Church even pairs Honey Hog with its Bird Baptism Brine as a combination for smoked holiday turkey.

Try It on Fish

Honey Hog can also be used to add sweet BBQ flavour to fish.

Apply an appropriate amount before grilling or smoking for a different flavour profile than traditional herb, lemon or pepper-based fish seasonings.

Don't Forget the Vegetables

Meat Church specifically recommends Honey Hog for vegetables as well as meat.

Try it on grilled or roasted vegetables when you want a sweet, savoury BBQ seasoning with paprika, garlic and honey notes.

Layer It with Other Meat Church Rubs

Honey Hog can be used as a standalone seasoning or as part of a layered BBQ flavour profile.

For cooks who want both sweetness and heat, Meat Church specifically recommends combining Honey Hog with Honey Hog HOT on ribs.

This gives you the sweet honey character of the original Honey Hog with additional jalapeño flavour and heat from Honey Hog HOT.
