FS: KC Royale re-branded

[Henrik]

I've had to re-do my pork rub. There are two main reasons: acquiring the mango powder is both cumbersome and expensive. It also has a tendency to cake too easily. In short: the flavor is really good, but the granularity could be improved.

I guess the expression "kill your darlings" comes to mind. It took a while before I could get myself to start blending new flavors. But in the end, I think it paid off. There were two main objectives: get it work with pork (obviously), but also for poultry. I wanted to broaden the flavor profile just a little. I tested many different combinations, but when I started working with lemon pepper as one of the ingredients I knew I was onto something. For one - pork loves citrus, and it goes great with chicken too. Also the granularity has been improved, meaning it is easier to work with. Especially important when I'm doing many slabs of meat at events.



It's a classic pork rub, with a fresh twist. Anyhow, the new blend is now available at Amazon.com. If you do try it, let me know what you think. I'm always interested in feedback, especially from talented pit masters like yourselves.

And I can vouch for this stuff, it is awesome. Peppery & a little sweet, but works very well with both chicken and pork. For me it is perfect, but admittedly it is a pinch too peppery for my wife and 2 of my 3 sons. My family loves it when I use it lightly, but I like a good dose myself.

[Henrik]

That is a very good description of it right there. Glad you like it!

[CaptainMike]

You need to slap the 'ol "New and Improved" label on it!

[Henrik]

I did rename it to "Pork & Poultry", and the old one is discontinued. Can't please 'em all ;-)

[fzxdoc]

I still have some of the original; I'll order the new one today and do a side by side comparison. My guess is that we'll like both.

Personally, I love lemon pepper on chicken, especially done with a good brand of lemon powder. I'm eager to give your updated concoction a try, Henrik .

Very cool, let me know what you think, and thanks for trying it out!

[CaptainMike]

I'm with her!

I just used up my supply of the original. Any new comparisons/notes about the difference in the new.

I liked the the old very much.

[Huskee]

I think it's better...lol...how exactly I'll let Henrik explain. Peppery and a little sweet doesn't explain it well enough, but it has a less obvious sour note methinks, more middle ground perhaps.

[Mr. Bones]

Lookin forward to tryin th new one, an ya know full well I'll be givin feedback, Brother!

Still wish ya could mebbe offer 1 lb.-1kg bulk packages, to refill our beloved Hank's bottles with

Nuthin but th very best goin out to ya, Henrik

[klflowers]

I still have some of the original but I am going to get some of the new too. Keep up the good work my man!

Used the old style on the pork butts and ribs I cooked for the 4th. Everyone commented on the flavor in very positive terms. If the new style is an improvement then I’m with Mr. Bones that we need larger sizes available.🙂

[Henrik]

I think Huskee’s description is pretty accurate. Slightly less sour, but with a more protruding lemon pepper, which almost gives it a little bite, but not enough to label it hot. I really dig the granularity myself, the new one is easier to work with. I know Mr Bones have asked for larger refill bags before, I kinda dropped that ball. Will get back on the bandwagon with that one. Thanks for your support!

[Mr. Bones]

I'm both a long time fan of lemon pepper, an a fan of yer KC Royale, since its inception...I'm trustin/hopin/prayin that it has its place, in yer new rub...not bein critical, even fer a second; have made 1000's of thousands of servins of baked lemon pepper chicken, easily among my fave flaves...
But, a lil bit goes a very long ways...
I devotedly trust yer judgement, Brother hence, my order fer th New Stuff

Ya ain't never steered me wrong!

[ofelles]

[Henrik]
