This very popular BBQ rub was recommended to me at a recent trip to the KC BBQ Superstore. The gentleman working the counter that day said that many teams use this in competitions. And I can see why.
The simple “Western Style” label is good and pretty much tells you what it is.
The color is like beautiful orange sand, and I’m sure many BBQ’ers would love to stroll on a beach made from this heavenly powder. It’s got just the right combination of sugar and spice to make everything taste nice. You can see brown sugar, salt, and many other spices within this fine rub..
I tried Sweet Heat on chicken (drumsticks) and on pork (some nice boneless pork loin chops were on sale) to give it a multipurpose workout, and thought the salt to sugar ratio was just right so that when you put it on meat the salt granules sunk into the meat, tenderizing it, leaving behind a brown sugar caramelized trail. I could also taste the onion and garlic powder, which was really ground up so it just sat atop everything else.
