He Said, She Said
Your Behind BBQ’s Hot Honey Garlic Rub opens with a big, sweet kiss followed by a soft yet fiery full-tongue caress. In between, savory garlic notes dance in the background. There’s not much color in this rub, but the sugars caramelize nicely on the grill if you keep the temps just right.
This blend is a game changer on pork, poultry and seafood. The name captures all the flavors, and I find the heat to be a bit complex: both subtle and full of flavor at the same time. It’s a great base layer on just about anything, but I like it best when smoking pork shoulder low and slow.
