Beef rub on chicken

[waterford335]

I am thinking about using BBBR on a whole chicken that is going in the smoker or is that not a good idea. Thanks.

Jerod Broussard s hooked on BBQ Trifecta rub is probably the best I have ever had on chicken. Followed closely by St.Elmos steak rub. I think both were originally formulated for beef, so go for it.

BBBR should work.

For everyones benefit here:

BBBR

• 3 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp white sugar
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 2 tsp mustard powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp Ancho powder
• 1 tsp cayenne powder

I gave some years ago to a guy at church. He used it on toast and popcorn. I think I had substituted white pepper for some folks who didn't want the black pepper.

Jerod Broussard I like zataar on popcorn myself.

How bad could it be? Do the experiment, run for the cliff, and let us know how it turns out!

I've used it on Boneless Chicken Breasts with success...I'd go for it.

I’ve seen references to Jerod Broussard ‘s Trifecta rub mentioned for years but don’t recall ever seeing the recipe for it.

I had to dig to find it so here it is. I need to try it to.

I do it! It makes it sorta like a Cajun chicken. I love it.

I have used Holy Cow with good results. If you compare the ingredients from a poultry rub to a beef rub, not much difference.

[Bob K]

agreed, seems like main difference is more sugar and herbs in "poultry rubs." if it's smoked, or direct grilled, those extra flavors probably aren't gonna show up anyway

[texastweeter]

I like some brown sugar, cumin, and coriander in my chicken rubs typically.

I've done it before by mistake...No big deal...I've used beef stock instead of chicken stock by accident and vice versa...No big deal...Salt is the most prominent flavor anyway...So the chicken tastes a little beefy....So the beef tastes a little chickeny... By the time it's all said and done.....It's all good either way....NBD...There's Chicken Fried Steak... Go figure...Jus' sayin'...
