Pro Tips from the Competition Circuit
Layer Your Flavors
Myron Mixon’s approach is all about building layers of flavor. Use a savory rub like Savory Q as a base layer, then finish with a sweeter rub like Rubba Dub Rib Rub or Raspberry Chipotle. This creates contrast and enhances complexity.
Don’t Skip the Rest
Let your rubs sit on the meat for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before cooking. This resting period allows the salts and spices to draw into the meat and form a more cohesive bark.
Use Butter Bite on Veggies
Butter Bite isn't just for poultry—try it on grilled corn, roasted potatoes, or even popcorn for a buttery, seasoned boost.
Combine with Myron Mixon Injections
For next-level moisture and flavor, pair Myron’s rubs with his signature pork, chicken, or brisket injections. The rub seasons the outside; the injection seasons the inside.
FAQs About Myron Mixon BBQ Rubs
Do I need to use a binder with these rubs?
You can, but you don’t have to. A light coat of mustard, olive oil, or Myron Mixon Bird Bath can help the rub adhere better—especially on slicker cuts like chicken.
Can I use these rubs indoors?
Yes! These rubs are just as good in the oven, on a griddle, or even in an air fryer. Try them on roasted vegetables, baked chicken, or even scrambled eggs.
How long do the rubs last?
Stored in a cool, dry place, these rubs can last up to two years, but you’ll probably use them up faster once you taste them.
Are these rubs gluten-free?
Most are, but always check the label or the Myron Mixon Rubs collection on our site for the most up-to-date info.
Where can I buy them?
You can find the full lineup of Myron Mixon BBQ rubs at DDR BBQ Supply, online and in our Northwest Arkansas retail store.
