Grill Mates Rub, Applewood, 6.0 oz Bottle

I have purchased McCormick's products in the past with great results and the McCormick Grill Mates Applewood Rub did not disappoint. As a BzzAgent I received this rub for free to try and review from the McCormick brand. Thank you! I used the rub to make ribs and it was a huge hit! It gave the ribs a smoky, savory, slightly sweet flavor…..delicious. I liked how the rub is almost a fine powder that helps to coat crevices or hard to reach areas. I have really enjoyed trying this product and I would recommend this to friends and family.

If you're smoking tri tip and want to keep things simple but flavorful, McCormick's Applewood Rub is a solid go-to. It is sweet-and-smoky - think brown sugar meets a applewood smokiness. I rubbed it on generously and let it sit for 30 minutes. After a couple hours of smoking, there was a nice, flavorful crust. It was delicious addition on the tri tip, and I think it is versatile enough for pork or chicken too. Forewarning: it's a bit salty, so maybe ease up if you're pairing it with salty sides. This rub was easy to use and tasty. While it's not a gourmet seasoning, it is dependable for big flavor. I received this product in exchange for an honest review.

I was given the McCormick® Grill Mates® Applewood Rub in exchange for an honest review, and I'm happy to share my thoughts on this versatile seasoning. The product is incredibly easy to use. The bottle features a convenient dual flip-cap, allowing you to either shake or pour the rub. This is a simple but thoughtful design that makes it easy to get the right amount of seasoning on your food, whether you're sprinkling a light coat or using a measuring spoon for a more precise application. McCormick® describes the Applewood Rub as a blend of garlic, peppers, and applewood smoke, and that's exactly what I tasted. The rub delivers a smoky and savory flavor with a subtle hint of sweetness. It's a fantastic way to add depth to your dishes without overwhelming them. A key point for me is that the rub is flavorful without being spicy, which makes it a great choice for a wide range of palates. One of the best things about this rub is its versatility. While it's marketed for grilling, I found it works great on many different foods and with various cooking methods. I personally used it on chicken that I cooked in the oven, and it transformed the dish. The result was a meal that had all the smoky, delicious flavor of a summer grilled meal, even without a grill. I would confidently recommend using this rub on all types of meat, including pork, beef, and seafood, as well as on vegetables. The McCormick® Grill Mates® Applewood Rub is a great product that delivers on its promise. It's easy to use, has a delicious and well-balanced flavor, and is incredibly versatile. It's a simple way to elevate your cooking and add a fantastic smoky, savory flavor to your meals. I highly recommend it.

made for some tasty chicken. it was cooked pretty tamely just put it in the oven, I can't wait to try it on the bbq! I think it will be even tastier! on one breast I only put the McCormick grill mates applewood rub on the other I also added a little parsley and garlic & herbs the person eating that one really likes a lot of flavor, it worked, rave reviews!

I wasn't sure if this was going to have a strong salty taste or not or when I was adding extra flavor to oven bake chicken wings it turned out perfect. The sweet taste wasn't overwhelming at all. I added some heat to offset the second I made the same recipe and it was delicious! Will definitely keep in stock!!

This is a good, smokey seasoning that would be great to add to any chicken or fish dish. I added to my own salmon dish and it was really good, with great flavor and lots of smokiness. I'll definitely buy this. This was sent to me in return for an honest review.

I was so excited to be picked to sample this for free, it has become a new staple in our household when I dont feel like actually going out to grill but I want that smokey grilled flavor with just a hunt of sweetness. Ive put it on steak, chicken and veggies and it has all tasted great, even my kids liked it and they arent big in to seasonings. I will definitely be buying this when it runs out!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I was chosen by Buzzagent to try McCormick's (you know,the famous spice brand) new Grill Mates Applewood Rub. Was it a liquid? Did it come in a single serve pouch? Neither! It comes in a 6 oz spice container so you can either sprinkle a little bit or pour out a lot. Well,I decided to try it on pork chops-fresh,thick, boneless chops with just a bit of fat. I went for the big shebang and poured out enough to totally coat all four of those babies. I just wet the chops a bit and patted dry with paper towels. Then I pressed each of them into the small pile of the rub-each side and all around the edge until they were completely covered. Into a 350° oven they went for 20 minutes. Then I flipped them and they cooked about 20 more minutes (these were THICK chops!) When I took them out I was surprised to see that the rub had crusted over and was crispy and glistening a bit. So how did it taste? Well,it's going to be in the regular rotation of meals from now on. That first bit was so juicy and rich-spicy but not hot. So satisfying and full flavored,my husband thought I made it from scratch! It made a great cut of meat a gourmet affair,imagine what miracles it will perform on lesser cuts?!? I think I'm going to try it on a flank steak tonight... can't wait!

I used this on boneless chicken thighs that i seasoned with this Applewood Rub before pan frying. It really gave the impression that it was as close to bbq chicken as you can get without actually grilling it. I would imagine this would be even better used on a grill I can't wait to try! *got the product for free in exchange for writing the review

It's a great hot sauce but it isnt spicy enough. I tried the extra spicy hot sauce they make but still isnt hot enough. The taste is amazing but I need hotter
