When Should You Use a Honey BBQ Rub?

A honey BBQ rub is perfect when you want a sweeter flavor profile and a beautiful finish that makes ribs look like they came straight off a competition table. If you’re cooking for family and friends, this is one of those rubs that gets people hovering around the cooker because it smells (and looks) that good.

Butcher BBQ Honey Rub really shines on:

  • Pork ribs (St. Louis, baby backs, or spares) – helps build a golden color and pairs great with a sticky glaze
  • Pork tenderloin – adds a sweet-savory crust without overpowering the meat
  • Chicken thighs and wings – gives you a balanced sweetness that plays well with smoke
  • Ham or pork chops – an easy “sprinkle and cook” win for backyard BBQ

If you like a classic “sweet heat” style, you can also use this rub as a base layer and finish with a touch of pepper-forward seasoning at the end. Either way, the goal is the same: great color, great aroma, and a bite that keeps people coming back for another rib.

How to Apply Honey BBQ Rub

For ribs, apply your binder (mustard or a light coat of oil), then shake on an even layer of rub. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes so it starts to sweat into the surface, then get the ribs on the smoker. If you’re cooking hot and fast, keep your heat steady and let the rub “set” before you start spritzing or saucing.

Pro tip: Honey-style rubs love a finishing glaze. If you sauce, wait until the last 15–30 minutes so the sugars don’t burn and the color stays clean.
