Chicken night, sorted
Dirty Bird BBQ Chicken Seasoning is the mild, smoky sibling in the Dirty Bird family — built for the nights you want proper BBQ chicken flavour without reaching for the heat. Rub it on, cook it your way, done.
The flavour
Savoury and smoky up front with a gentle sweetness through the middle, finishing clean — built to taste like backyard BBQ chicken, not a spice-rack afterthought.
How to cook with it
- Coat chicken thighs or drumsticks generously before they hit a hot grill for classic BBQ chicken char.
- Season a whole spatchcocked chicken under and over the skin before roasting.
- Toss through wings before baking or frying for a smoky, no-heat house wing.
- Dust over corn on the cob or chips for a BBQ-chicken-adjacent side.
- Rogue use: mix into mayo for a smoky dipping sauce alongside the chicken.
In the pack
A fine, smoky orange-brown seasoning that coats evenly and browns nicely without burning on a hot grill.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict
🏴☠️ Darryl's Secret: Spatchcock Dirty Bird
Crisp skin, smoky crust, no heat — dinner the kids will fight over.
You'll need: 1 whole chicken, about 1.8kg; 2–3 tbsp Rum and Que Dirty Bird BBQ Chicken Seasoning; 1 tbsp olive oil.
Do this:
- Spatchcock the chicken, pat it dry, and rub oil and seasoning under and over the skin.
- Cook indirect at 180°C, skin up, for 45–60 minutes until the thickest part of the thigh reads 75°C.
- Flip skin-down over direct heat for 2–3 minutes to crisp, watching closely.
- Rest 10 minutes and carve.
