The Kosmos Q Lab Secret Stash: Honey Jalapeno Rub

I wonder if it is supposed to be a cake?

I used it sparingly on ribs and liked it a lot. Will use a little more next time

Great Rub!!!! Really brings out flavor

Honey jalapeno elk ribeyes. This stuff is great on everything.

The honey jalapeño worked great paired with the peach jalapeño glaze. The made my ribs pop

I just grilled venison blackstrap wrapped in bacon with Honey Chipotle and Garlic Jalapeño rubs. I failed to get a before picture and since there was absolutely nothing left, my only choice was this picture of a Black Hole. Hope it gets the message across.

I used the honey Jalapeño rub on chicken wings it had great flavor. I’m already planning my next cook, so I can use it again…

The 2nd best!

Have had bad weather up here so we have not been able to try it just yet, hopefully we can this weekend

As I am still waiting on my smokers to arrive in South Dakota I haven’t been able to cook with it but my first taste screams wings! I’ll be using a lot of this I believe.

I’ve used the new honey jalapeño rub a couple of times now. I did a side-by-side comparison on some poppers with the garlic jalapeño rub and honey jalapeño rub. Also used it on a couple of pork loin chops. Love the sweet and a little bit of heat from this rub. It’s a keeper for sure!

Had 10 nice pork chops I needed to use so I mixed things up a little. The first 3 I used the honey jalapeño and heath riles garlic butter. I wanted to like those but they were just OK. The next three I used honey jalapeño and dirty bird. Those were excellent! The next 2 I used honey jalapeño and garlic powder. Didn't care much for that combination. The last 2 I used straight honey jalapeño. Didn't much care for those either. Just for reference; All were cooked in a cast iron skillet on medium heat on a gas stove. The pan was allowed to heat up to sear temp each cook. I cleaned the pan after each cook. I oiled it with olive oil each time. All were cooked to 145° internal temp. The clear winner was the honey jalapeño and dirty bird combination. Not enough so that I would purchase the honey jalapeño again though because it just didn't have the ability, in my opinion, to be used as a stand alone rub. I absolutely love Kosmo's Q rubs though! Dedicated customer here!

Good sweet heat. I used on a chicken breast in a cast iron skillet. Then deglazed with broth, garlic salt, garlic, and honey. Turned out really nice.
