Created by 5-time World BBQ Champion Myron Mixon, Honey Money Cluck Rub is purpose-built for poultry, delivering a balanced honey-forward flavor with subtle spice and beautiful color development. Honey granules, paprika, garlic, onion, and chipotle create a sweet-savory profile that produces competition-quality chicken while remaining versatile enough for pork, ribs, and vegetables. The blend is designed to enhance the natural flavor of poultry while helping develop attractive color and flavorful, bite-through skin.
