Grill Mates Rub, Honey Hickory, 5.75 oz Bottle

We were invited to a potluck barbecue next door, and I brought some boneless pork chops that I had rubbed down with this. I did it as soon as I woke up, and the barbecue began at 11a. I let the chops sit out of the fridge for about 20-30 min and then handed them over to the grillmaster of the day. The rub created this incredible smelling crust on the meat! They were beautiful when they came off the grill and tasted better than any barbecue sauce I had used before. My kids asked for more, but I had only brought about 10 chops. I will absolutely buy this for my family and recommend it highly. * I received this product free of charge in return for my honest opinion.

I used McCormick's Honey Hickory rub on grilled chicken breasts and thighs, as well as with grilled shrimp. With the shrimp, I applied it right before grilling, but with chicken, I found the smoky-sweet taste came out better when I added the rub first thing in the morning and let it marinate a few hours before grilling. Either way, the smoky-sweet profile was amazing and I'll be using this for a family cookout coming up next month. Thanks, McCormick, for the free Grill Mates® Honey Hickory Rub!

Finally got to fire up the grill and try this Honey Hickory rub and I LOVE it! It's sweet and smoky and slightly umami. Put it on chicken and was great. I think it would also be great on pork too. Highly recommended adding this to your spice portfolio.

I absolutely love the McCormick Grill Mates Honey Hickory Rub Seasoning! The flavor is the perfect balance of sweet and smoky, with just the right hint of hickory that makes everything taste like it came straight off a grill. I've used it on chicken, ribs, and even roasted veggies, and it never disappoints. It adds a rich, bold flavor without being overpowering, and the aroma while cooking is amazing. Super easy to use—just rub it on and you're good to go. This has definitely become a staple in my kitchen! Highly recommend for anyone who loves that sweet BBQ-style flavor 🔥

The flavor is a bit simple but you still get a smokey honey flavor that I really like, it still needed a bit of salt to add more flavor but my wife who doesn't like things very salty said it was just right and the kids seemed to enjoy it as well. I will have to experiment with it some more to see how it works on other things as I just tried some chicken breasts cooked in my air fryer.

My family enjoyed the McCormick Grill Mates Honey Hickory Rub on our grilled chicken this weekend. Using the grill mates made for quick prep work without needing to pull out many different spices. The spice coated and stuck to the chicken well and had a great flavor. I may add a bit more garlic or salt next time but we'll definitely use this again. We also added some to our roasted potatoes and it complimented the chicken nicely.

I was gifted this product in exchange for a review by McCormick. The taste is there, it blends into the meat well. It smells amazing, a bit more garlicky than advertised which I prefer, I plan to use it in Asian inspired dishes. It's a new spice mix for me, I usually use more savoury-peppery blends. The one thing I was disappointed in though, despite the ingredients being pretty good, it uses bio engineered ingredients.

I used this seasoning on my grilled chicken it gave it a very nice smoky hickory taste. This is a bit on the sweater side so if you don't enjoy the sweet and saltyeffect I wouldn't recommend. So far I have only tried it on chicken but I'd like to experiment on some ither meats and maybe even some veggies that would benefit from a little sweet smokiness to them.

I tried this rub on pork and chicken. I really enjoyed it on the pork specifically. I love to layer the flavors on my spare ribs so that's what I did. I did a layer of salt and pepper then a layer of the honey hickory rub. It had a nice Smokey sweet flavor which really surprised me. Great rub for ribs! I would recommend this to anyone!

I liked the flavor but still needed to add salt/pepper to give it some more depth. My kids liked it plain (they're younger and don't like a lot of complex flavor). I'll continue to use it for my kids meals but I need to experiment more with other seasonings to make it more robust.
