Breakfast, snacks, dinners, and everything in between. Here are some quick, easy flavour ideas to get you started.

1. Kicked Up Mac & Cheese (recipe coming) - but essentially add 1 teaspoon when you make the cheese sauce (Thank you, Amaya!)
2. Red Rooster Burgers - chicken burgers seasoned with wing rub!
3. Spiced French Fries - yes, you can toss your fries in Wing Rub!

4. Wing-rub blooming onion petals - Add the rub with our without a flour coating, then fry loose onion petals instead of making a whole blooming onion. They’re faster, more dunkable, and every petal gets crisp. (Without the flour you roast until the edges char and the layers turn jammy. great on sandwiches)

5. Dry-rub cheese crunch - Sprinkle the rub into a hot nonstick pan, lay shredded cheese over it, and cook until crisp. Break the smoky, savory cheese lace over salads, soups, or burgers.

6. Wing-rub pickleback butter — Whip the rub into softened butter, then fold in a spoonful of pickle brine. Spread on warm biscuits, cornbread, or grilled sourdough or your dinner veggies.

7. Savory “candy” grapes — Toss seedless grapes with oil and a very light dusting of rub; roast until blistered. Serve with sharp cheese as an arresting sweet-smoky snack.

8. Chicken-skin seasoning salt — Mix the rub with finely crushed crispy chicken skin and use it as a finishing sprinkle over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

9. Wing-rub tempura dust — Stir a small amount into dry tempura batter and use it on green beans, shishito peppers, pickles, or seafood. The seasoning becomes part of the crackly shell.

10. Smoky brûléed squash — Roast delicata or acorn squash, brush lightly with butter, dust with rub, and broil briefly until the surface blisters and glistens.

11. Barbecue butter noodles — Bloom the rub in butter, toss with noodles, then add grated sharp cheddar and a splash of pasta water. It lands somewhere between barbecue, cacio e pepe, and late-night comfort food.

12. Rub-crusted avocado — Halve an avocado, oil the cut side, press it into the rub, and sear it cut-side down until a warm, smoky crust forms. Add lime and eat with a spoon.

13. Wing-rub brûlée bacon — Coat thick bacon lightly with rub, bake on a rack until lacquered and crisp, then crumble it over vanilla ice cream, cornbread, or a wedge salad. The sweet-salty-smoky contrast is the entire trick.

14. Wing-rub mozzarella sticks
Mix Wing Rub into the breadcrumb coating. The seasoning becomes part of the crisp shell, so the first bite tastes like a wing before you even reach the cheese.

15. Wing-rub pickle chips
Coat pickle chips in seasoned flour or panko, fry until crisp, and serve with ranch. It turns the classic wing basket into a crunchy two-bite snack.

16. Wing-rub Caesar crunch
Toss torn chicken skin, panko, or crouton shards with Wing Rub and toast them. Use them as a dramatic savory crunch over Caesar salad instead of ordinary croutons.

17. Wing-rub corn ribs
Cut corn cobs into long strips, brush with oil, and season with Wing Rub before roasting. The curved pieces look like miniature ribs and are built for messy, hands-on eating. (Thank you again, Amaya!)
