The Honey Hog rub that built Meat Church's rib reputation

Meat Church Honey Hog is a sweet, honey-based BBQ rub from Matt Pittman's Meat Church in Waxahachie, Texas, made for pork ribs, pulled pork and poultry. It's the original sweet Meat Church rub — real honey powder and sugar lead the way, with paprika and garlic underneath, built to caramelise into a honeyed, rust-coloured bark.

The flavour

Front is honeyed sweetness from real honey powder. The middle brings warm paprika colour and dextrose depth. It finishes with a savoury garlic-celery note that keeps the sweetness in check and leaves it tasting like barbecue, not candy floss.

How to cook with it

  • Coat pork ribs heavy the night before or at least an hour out, then run them low and slow — the honey powder caramelises into a sticky, rust-red bark.
  • Season a pork shoulder before it goes on for pulled pork with sweetness through every strand.
  • Dust a whole chicken or thighs before roasting for glossy, caramelised skin.
  • Toss roasted vegetables — pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato — in Honey Hog before they hit the oven for a genuinely different side dish.
  • Rogue move: sprinkle it over popcorn or roasted nuts for a sweet-savoury snack that disappears fast.

In the shaker

A sweet, rust-toned rub with a fine, honey-heavy texture. Builds a sticky, caramelised crust rather than a dry seasoning film.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Sugar, salt, honey powder (refined syrup, honey), spices including paprika, dextrose, dehydrated garlic, celery, 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

The rib rub that made Meat Church's name, and it still earns the reputation every time it hits the smoker. Brush Four Monkeys Jungle Juice Cherry Apple Jalapeño Glaze on late for shine and a gentle kick, then finish with Smokes Seasoning Chipotle Salt for a smoky lift that cuts the sweetness. Sneak a rib before they're even rested.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Honey Hog Roast Veg Tray

Proof the veg can steal the show too.

You'll need: 1kg pumpkin, carrot and sweet potato, cut into chunks; 2 tbsp oil; 1½ tbsp Honey Hog.

Do this:

  1. Toss the veg in the oil, then the Honey Hog, and spread on a lined tray.
  2. Roast at 200°C for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway.
  3. Keep an eye on it in the last 10 minutes — pull it when the edges are caramelised, not black.

Why it works: The honey powder caramelises on the cut sides of the veg just like it does on a rib.

Questions answered

What makes Honey Hog sweet?

Real honey powder and sugar, backed by paprika and dextrose for colour and caramelisation. It's a genuine honey-forward rub, not just a "sweet" label — heat sits gentle at Hub Heat 2/11.

Is Honey Hog gluten free?

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

What's it best on?

Pork ribs and pulled pork are the classic use, but it works just as well on poultry and roasted vegetables.

What size is the shaker?

354g (12.5oz), made in Waxahachie, Texas.

Is Meat Church Honey Hog spicy?

No. Honey Hog sits at a gentle Hub Heat 2/11 — sweet and warm, with no chilli on the ingredients list. If you want a kick, Honey Hog Hot is the same honeyed base with dehydrated jalapeño, at Hub Heat 5/11.

What's the difference between Honey Hog and Honey Hog Hot?

Both share the honey powder, sugar, paprika and garlic base. Honey Hog Hot adds dehydrated jalapeño, taking it from Hub Heat 2/11 to 5/11. Honey Hog comes in a 354g shaker and Honey Hog Hot in a 340g shaker.

Can I buy Meat Church Honey Hog in Australia?

Yes. The Rub Hub stocks Meat Church Honey Hog in the 354g shaker and ships Australia-wide for a flat $10 per order. Check this page for current stock.
