5 Incredible Ways to Use Meat Church Holy Voodoo Seasoning

5 Incredible Ways to Use Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning (Beyond Chicken Wings)

When most people think of Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning, they picture crispy, Cajun-spiced chicken wings. But that signature sweet-heat blend has a lot more potential than just poultry. Its mix of sugar, paprika, garlic, and jalapeño makes it one of the most versatile seasonings ever to hit the pit — and it can transform everything from smoked ribs to grilled shrimp, burgers, and even sides.

If you’ve been limiting your Voodoo use to just wings, it’s time to break out of the routine. Here are five creative, mouthwatering ways to use this powerhouse rub that’ll keep you reaching for that orange-and-black bottle again and again.

1. Cajun Grilled Shrimp with Voodoo Kick

Voodoo’s roots lie in Cajun flavor, so seafood is a natural match. Mix two tablespoons of Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning with a splash of Bear & Burton’s W Sauce and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss peeled shrimp until evenly coated, then let them marinate for 20 minutes.

Grill over medium heat until pink and lightly charred — just a couple of minutes per side. For extra flavor, finish with a light brush of Texas Pepper Jelly Rib Candy – Apple Habanero for that sweet-spicy glaze that screams coastal BBQ.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the temp using your FireBoard Spark Thermometer — shrimp cook fast, and overcooking will toughen them. Aim for 140°F internal temp for juicy results.

2. Sweet-Heat Smoked Pork Ribs

If there’s one dish that shows off Voodoo’s full potential, it’s pork ribs. Start with a light coating of DDR BBQ Binder Sauce to help your seasoning adhere. Apply a generous dusting of Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning on all sides, letting it rest for 30 minutes before going onto the smoker.

Set your smoker to 250°F and cook until tender — typically 5–6 hours. During the final hour, glaze with Texas Pepper Jelly Rib Candy – Apple Habanero for glossy, sticky ribs that pack sweetness, tang, and just enough fire.

Want a beefier bark? Try combining Voodoo with Meat Church Holy Cow BBQ Rub — the pepper-forward flavor deepens the color and adds savory complexity.

3. Voodoo Burgers with Southern Spice

Turn your backyard burger night into something unforgettable. Mix one tablespoon of Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning per pound of ground beef for patties that sizzle with Cajun personality. The sugar caramelizes beautifully on the grates, adding a smoky crust and juicy bite.

Top your burger with grilled onions, pickles, and a generous swipe of Meat Mitch Naked Whomp! BBQ Sauce for balance. The clean, tomato-based flavor complements Voodoo’s spice perfectly.

Slice through those juicy burgers with precision using the Dalstrong 12” Slicing Knife – Night Shark Series. Its razor edge ensures you don’t lose any of that juicy perfection.

Variation: For a Southern twist, brush the burger bun lightly with W Sauce before toasting — it adds an umami-rich depth that complements the seasoning beautifully.

4. Spicy BBQ Popcorn Snack Mix

BBQ popcorn? Absolutely. Melt a few tablespoons of butter, then mix in a teaspoon of Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning and a dash of Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ Rub. Pour the mixture over freshly popped corn and toss until evenly coated.

For something more substantial, add smoked almonds, pretzels, or corn nuts. The mix of sweet and spicy flavors makes this the perfect game-day snack — especially when paired with cold beer or your favorite cocktail.

Pro Tip: Make a big batch and store it in airtight containers for tailgates or movie nights. The flavor even deepens after a day or two as the seasoning melds into the popcorn.

5. Roasted Vegetables with Cajun Smoke

Voodoo isn’t just for meat. Toss diced sweet potatoes, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts in olive oil, sprinkle with Meat Church Voodoo Seasoning, and roast at 400°F until caramelized. The seasoning’s mix of sugar and jalapeño gives veggies a smoky-sweet edge that even non-veggie eaters will love.

Want to mix things up? Add a pinch of Meat Church The Gospel All Purpose BBQ Rub for a little extra savory depth — perfect for balancing sweeter veggies like carrots and squash.

If you’re roasting on a grill or smoker, monitor internal temps with your FireBoard Spark Thermometer to prevent burning. That light caramelization is what gives them the magic touch.

Pro Tips for Cooking with Meat Church Voodoo

Layer for complexity: Combine The Gospel or Honey Hog with Voodoo to strike the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky.
Use a binder: Always start with DDR BBQ Binder Sauce for better adhesion, moisture retention, and bark formation.
Control your heat: The sugars in Voodoo caramelize quickly. Keep your temps around 250–275°F for low and slow cooks, or sear hot and fast for caramelized crusts.
Slice clean: After resting your meat, use the Dalstrong 12” Slicing Knife for neat, presentation-worthy cuts.
Experiment freely: The Meat Church Pick Your 3 Pack lets you test flavor combinations — try pairing Voodoo with Honey Hog for ribs or The Gospel for brisket.
