What it is

The rub for the chicken and the ribs, when you want them sweet and sticky by the time the crew shows up. Butcher BBQ comes out of competition barbecue, and its dried honey pulls moisture to the surface and turns tacky in about 20 minutes, so you rub the wings at home and they're ready to cook when you park.

Paprika, garlic and salt keep it from tasting like candy. Butcher BBQ says the honey burns over direct heat above 350°F, so on a two-burner tailgate grill, run one side low and park the wings there. One 12.5 oz shaker covers about 6 to 8 racks of ribs or 4 to 5 whole chickens, per Butcher BBQ, which is a season of Saturdays for most crews. Butcher BBQ says it's made in America.

Which rub? This one for sweet chicken and pork. For burgers, brats and wings off one shaker, World Spice KC Tailgater's. For a smoker and a pork butt, Big Poppa's Sweet Money.

Why we picked it

Dried honey, paprika and garlic.

Butcher BBQ uses dried honey that pulls moisture from the meat and turns tacky, with paprika, garlic and salt behind it. Season, wait 20 minutes, then smoke.

Butcher BBQ says one jar does about 4 to 5 whole chickens or 6 to 8 racks of ribs. Gluten free, from a peanut-free facility.

Butcher BBQ says it's made in the USA.
