The Backyard Chicken Down Under Rub

Award Winning Backyard Chicken Down Under is built for one thing: golden, caramelised skin over chicken that stays juicy all the way through.

Brown sugar and sea salt form the base, then smoked paprika, garlic and onion bring the savoury backbone, with thyme, oregano and cracked black pepper adding that unmistakable Aussie BBQ character. A light touch of cayenne rounds it out, keeping the flavour bold enough for the pitmasters and mild enough for the kids.

Hot and fast on the barbie, low and slow in the smoker, or straight into the oven, this Aussie BBQ chicken rub gives you the same golden crust every time.

Smoky and savoury with gentle sweetness, herby depth and a mild, family-friendly heat.

No artificial additives, no preservatives, no MSG, just a properly balanced BBQ dry rub.

Best For:
Chicken wings, thighs, drumsticks, whole birds, skewers, burgers, turkey and pork.

Why You'll Love It:

• Smoky and savoury.
  Paprika, garlic and herbs build deep flavour that tastes like proper backyard BBQ.
• Balanced sweetness.
  Brown sugar caramelises into golden, crisp skin rather than a sugary coating.
• Mild heat, family-friendly.
  A light warmth from cayenne that everyone at the table can enjoy.
• Genuinely versatile.
  Grilling, roasting, smoking or everyday seasoning.
• Premium ingredients.
  Free from artificial additives, preservatives and MSG.

How To Use It:

1. Pat the chicken dry, then add a light binder if you like (oil, mustard or water). Dry skin is the key to a crisp finish.
2. Coat generously on all sides. Get under the skin on thighs and whole birds for flavour right through the meat.
3. Rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge for crisper skin, then cook until golden and juicy.

Good To Know:
This rub works equally well hot and fast on the grill or low and slow in the smoker, and it is just as happy on a gas barbie, charcoal, or in the oven. Brilliant on a Sunday roast chicken. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the lid sealed.
