Honey Bacon: Honey Hog's sweeter, smokier cousin

Meat Church Honey Bacon is a sweet, bacon-boosted BBQ rub from Matt Pittman's Meat Church in Waxahachie, Texas, made for poultry, fish and pork. It takes the honey-sweet Honey Hog formula and pushes it further with a smoked-bacon note running underneath — the same sweet, caramelising bark, with a savoury edge that makes it dangerously easy to keep shaking.

The flavour

Front is honeyed sweetness, same as its Honey Hog sibling. The middle brings a smoky, savoury bacon note that thickens the flavour without adding real bacon fat. It finishes rounded and moreish — sweet enough to happily eat straight off a finger.

How to cook with it

  • Season chicken pieces before roasting or grilling for glossy, caramelised skin with a savoury bacon edge underneath the sweetness.
  • Dust white fish fillets before pan-searing — the sweetness and smoke work surprisingly well against something delicate.
  • Coat pork chops or a pork loin before the cook for a sticky, bacon-boosted crust.
  • Rogue move: shake it over hot buttered popcorn — it sounds wrong until the bag's empty.

In the shaker

A sweet, warm-toned rub with a fine texture and a savoury bacon undertone visible in the colour. Builds a sticky, glossy crust under heat.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Sugar, salt, honey powder (refined syrup, honey), spices including paprika, dextrose, dehydrated garlic, celery, natural flavouring, spice extractives, no greater than 2% silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent).

Dietary: Gluten free. No MSG. Always check the physical label for the most accurate ingredient, allergen and nutritional information.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Bacon flavour in a shaker sounds like a gimmick until it's on a chicken thigh going glossy over coals. Baste with Rum and Que Meat Juice Glaze through the last few minutes for extra shine, then finish with a pinch of Hardcore Carnivore Texas Jalapeno Salt for a savoury kick that cuts the sweetness. Yes, it's genuinely good on popcorn too.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Honey Bacon Pork Loin

Bacon flavour, no bacon required.

You'll need: 1.2kg pork loin, fat trimmed to 5mm; 1 tbsp oil; 2 tbsp Honey Bacon.

Do this:

  1. Rub the loin with oil and coat it evenly in Honey Bacon.
  2. Cook indirect at 160°C for about 60 minutes until the centre reads 63°C.
  3. Rest 10 minutes, then slice thick.

Why it works: A moderate cooking temperature lets the sweet crust caramelise without burning. Got leftover rub? Shake it over hot buttered popcorn.

Questions answered

What does Honey Bacon taste like?

Sweet honey up front, same as Honey Hog, with a smoky bacon note running through the middle and a rounded, moreish finish. Heat is gentle — Hub Heat 2/11.

Is Honey Bacon gluten free?

Yes — gluten free and no MSG. Always check the physical label for the most accurate ingredient and allergen information.

Does it actually taste like bacon?

There's a genuine smoky, savoury bacon note in the background, but it's a rub, not bacon bits — the sweetness still leads.

What size is the shaker?

369g (13oz), made in Waxahachie, Texas.

Honey Bacon or Honey Hog?

Both are sweet, honey-powder rubs at Hub Heat 2/11. Honey Bacon adds a smoky, savoury bacon note on top of the Honey Hog style. Honey Bacon is a 369g shaker; Honey Hog is 354g.
