Four Monkeys for brisket, beef and lamb
Beef Rub starts from salt, pepper and garlic, then adds cumin and a restrained sweetness so the bark lacquers. Home Base goes under it as a savoury floor. Lamb Rub keeps the sugar down and leans on paprika, mustard and herbs. More in brisket and lamb.
Four Monkeys for ribs, pork and chicken
Pork Rub is the one that built the name: paprika and sugar up front, garlic and mustard behind. Chicken Rub suits wings and whole birds; season the night before, uncovered in the fridge. Finish ribs and wings with thin, late coats of Jungle Juice so it sets glossy, not burnt. See ribs and glazes.
Allergen note
Home Base Rub contains milk (butter powder). Check the label and ingredient list on each product page.
