Sweet Honey - sweet spice mix with honey flavor from Widowmakers BBQ

Sweet Honey is a spice mix and rub from Widowmakers BBQ with a clear sweetness from honey and brown sugar, balanced with paprika, garlic, onion, and a slight heat from chili powder. The spice blend was developed by team member Fredrik Berglund for Widowmakers BBQ's trip to the BBQ World Championship in Limerick, Ireland. The result was a rub that creates a caramelized, golden crust and a sweet flavor profile that works on everything from chicken wings and ribs to glazed vegetables.

Sweet Honey enhances the natural flavor of the ingredients without overpowering them. It's perfect for those who enjoy a sweeter touch on grilled food but desire depth and balance in the taste rather than just sugar.

Suitable for chicken, pork, and vegetables

Sweet Honey works excellently as a chicken seasoning, providing a sweet, caramelized crust on chicken wings, chicken fillets, and whole chickens. For pork, it shines on ribs, pork collar, and pork chops. If you want to elevate your vegetables, it works wonderfully on glazed carrots, sweet potatoes, and corn on the cob.

How to use Sweet Honey

As a rub, apply an even layer over the meat and thoroughly massage in the spice mix. Optionally, wrap the meat in foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate and the surface to caramelize beautifully.

If you want to use Sweet Honey as a marinade, mix it with a little oil and a dash of apple cider vinegar or orange juice. Brush it onto chicken, pork, or vegetables and let it marinate for at least an hour for a deeper honey flavor that glazes nicely during cooking.

Sweet Honey also works as a base for a sweet glaze or as a seasoning in cold sauces and dips. Stir it into sour cream, mayonnaise, yogurt, or crème fraîche for a quick sauce that pairs well with grilled meat or vegetable sticks. Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for a while to allow the flavors to meld.
