BUTCHERS AXE: Gyros Rotisserie Seasoning Rub – 180g

Straight off the spit

Gyros bottles the magic of meat turning slow over fire — garlic, herbs and warm Mediterranean spice built for the rotisserie and the grill. It's the seasoning that transports a backyard cook to a street-side souvlaki stand, all savoury depth and herby lift. Load the spit and let the juices drip.

The flavour

Garlic and herbs lead, green and fragrant, over a savoury spiced base. Hydrolysed veg deepens the middle into something rich and rounded, and it finishes warm and Mediterranean — oregano-adjacent, moreish, never hot.

How to cook with it

• Coat chicken thighs and stack them on a rotisserie or spit for classic gyros.
• Rub lamb before slow-roasting, then shave it thin for souvlaki and wraps.
• Season pork scotch and grill for Greek-style pork skewers.
• Toss through roast potatoes with olive oil and lemon for a Mediterranean side.

In the shaker

A green-flecked savoury blend with visible herbs and a medium grind. It clings to oiled meat and blooms herby and garlicky as the fat renders on the spit.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Cap'n Rubb's rule: keep the spit low and let the fat baste the meat on its way down — don't rush the skin. Lacquer it late with Four Monkeys BBQ Jungle Juice Cherry Apple Jalapeño Rib Glaze for shine, then finish with a drizzle of Atomic Chicken Buffalo Hot Sauce for the ones after a bit of tang.
