Origin: Made in New Zealand

Dietary: Ingredients listed below; allergens to be confirmed from the physical label

Best on: Butterflied chicken, wings, breast and thigh

Everything a chook's been waiting for

A good chicken rub earns its keep every week, and this is one you'll wear out. Built to season a whole butterflied bird or a tray of wings, The Chicken Rub delivers savoury depth and crackling skin without ever fighting the meat.

The flavour

Savoury and herby with a warm, gently spiced backbone and just a whisper of heat. Balanced for poultry — enough character to make the skin sing, restrained enough to let the bird taste like the bird.

How to cook with it

  • Butterfly a whole bird, season all over, and roast or smoke until the skin cracks.
  • Toss wings before they hit the grill or oven.
  • Season a breast and sear for a quick, savoury midweek dinner.
  • Slow-cook seasoned thighs until they fall apart.

In the jar

A warm, herby blend with a medium grind that coats skin evenly and crisps beautifully under heat.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients (from the label): Sugar, spices, spice extract, salt, dehydrated vegetables (onion, garlic), anti-caking agent (551). Recipes can change — always check the physical label.

Dietary: Dietary claims and allergens to be confirmed — always check the physical label.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Darryl's orders: butterfly the bird, dust it heavy, and roast it hot till the skin cracks like glass. Mop the last few minutes with Taipan BBQ Competition Glaze and keep Fancy Hanks Cayenne & Watermelon Hot Sauce on the table for the ones who like a nudge.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Smoked Chook Drumsticks

Cheap cut, big swagger.

You'll need: 12 chicken drumsticks; 3 tbsp The Chicken Rub; 1 tbsp olive oil.

Do this:

  1. Coat the drumsticks in oil and the rub and rest 30 minutes.
  2. Smoke at 135°C for about 90 minutes until they reach at least 75°C.
  3. Finish over a hot grill for 2–3 minutes a side to crisp the skin.

Why it works: Drumsticks forgive a little extra time, so the higher end of the smoke keeps them juicy and tender.
