Chicken Rub Taste Test

[jboo70]

I have a couple of different samples of rubs so I thought I would do a taste sample for dinner tonight and get my families opinion.  As you can see from the pictures I had 5 different samples.



#1 was Oakridge "Secret Weapon Pork and Chicken Rub"


#2 was Oakridge "Venison & Wild Game Rub"


#3 was Oakridge "Game Bird & Chicken Rub"


#4 was covered in Sriracha Sauce and then dusted with Mo-Rockin' Chicken


#5 was Tatonka Dust


...Drum roll please...

The top three, in no particular order, were #2, #4 and #5.  Each family member had their favorite.  As for me I can't get over how good Tatonka Dust is.  Then the combo of Sriracha and Mo-Rockin' and then the Oakridge Venison & Wild Game Rub was SUPER good!

#1 was just ok, kind of an all purpose taste and #3 was too much of a chili taste to it.

cool test.  I love #1 a lot myself.  I have some of the venison I haven't used yet.  I'm glad you liked it.  I will give it a try on some chicken.  what did you cook the chicken on and at what temp?

That's the kind of test I could get into.

Great test! Tatonka and Mo Rockin are great rubs that I am like to use quite often.

All very good rubs. My neighbor uses all the Oakridge rubs and she is partial to the venison rub for her poultry and pork......

I cooked them on my GMG JB using Perfect Mix cooking pellets.  I cooked them at 300 until done.

While they all look good, you should know that they more than likely pale in comparison to Jan's Rub which was, as I recall, developed primarily for poultry.

I may have been made for yardbirds but dang it's good on just about anything, (Lord help me) Even veggies

Is this the one that you are referring to?

Jan's Rub
1  cup + 4 T sugar
1/4 cup Lawrey's Seasoning Salt
1/4 cup garlic salt
1/4 cup + 1 1/2 tsp celery salt
1/4 cup onion salt
1/2 cup paprika
2 T black pepper
1 T lemon pepper
2 tsp celery seeds
2 tsp ground dry sage
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp dry thyme
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Mix all in larger bowl and store in cool place away from light in an air tight container or plastic bag.

Jan's rub is very good, she should have sold it instead of giving it away

#4 looks real good to me.
