Pork Powder BBQ Rub for Pork & Chicken, 13 oz

Fat Plate BBQ was founded by Chris Kossman and is based in Shippenville, Pennsylvania. Its recipes grew from backyard cooking and competition barbecue, with testing and pitmaster feedback helping shape the seasoning lineup. The company focuses on distinctive, balanced flavors that home cooks can bring to family meals as well as serious barbecue.

Pork Powder BBQ Rub for Pork & Chicken, 13 oz

Pork Powder is a sweet-and-spicy BBQ rub for pork and poultry. Its 13-ounce bottle suits ribs, pork shoulder, pulled pork, chops and chicken wings. Salt, sugar, brown sugar and paprika appear in the ingredient statement, along with other spices, garlic, onion and monosodium glutamate.

Choose this blend when you want a sweet-heat direction for a grill, smoker or oven cook. The maker developed it for pork and chicken rather than limiting it to one cut. That makes it useful across a weekend rib session, a pork shoulder cook and a smaller chicken dinner.

The finished seasoning is family-made in Shippenville, Pennsylvania. It can be used alone or layered over a pepper-forward base. If you plan to add a sweet barbecue sauce later, start with an amount of rub that leaves room for that extra sweetness instead of treating each seasoning step as a separate full-strength layer.

How to use and serve

Coat the meat evenly on all sides and let it rest before cooking, following the maker's directions. Choose your cooking method according to the food and cut. Ribs, pork shoulder, chops and wings need different approaches, so a shared rub does not mean they should all receive the same cooking time.

For a layered flavor, the maker recommends a pepper-forward rub first, followed by Pork Powder. Apply each layer with a consistent hand so one surface is not much saltier or sweeter than another. A finishing glaze can add shine and another layer of flavor, but it also changes the balance of the finished dish.

For your first cook with a new seasoning, keep notes about the cut, the amount of rub and any sauce you add. That is more useful for repeating a result than judging the rub by its name alone. Adjust gradually on later cooks to suit your preferred level of sweetness, spice and surface seasoning.
