Seasoning Salt vs BBQ Rub – What’s the Difference?

Seasoning salts and BBQ rubs can both be used before, during or after cooking, but they behave differently depending on their texture, salt content and flavour balance.

Seasoning Salts

Seasoning salts are usually finer in texture and more salt-forward than a typical BBQ rub. They’re designed to season food evenly and quickly, making them ideal for chips, fries, roast potatoes and fried foods, but they can also work very well in BBQ.

Used before cooking, a seasoning salt can help with dry brining, especially on chicken, pork or steaks, where you want the salt to penetrate the surface and improve flavour throughout. In BBQ, they’re often used as a base layer before adding another rub, or on their own where a cleaner, more savoury finish is wanted.

BBQ Rubs

BBQ rubs are usually more complex blends, often with a coarser texture and a broader balance of salt, spice, sugar and aromatics. They’re designed to build flavour on the surface of the meat and help develop bark, crust and colour during cooking.

They’re especially well suited to low-and-slow BBQ, grilling and roasting, where you want the seasoning to create a more pronounced outer layer.

How This Product Works

A product like Chicken Salt sits closer to a seasoning salt than a traditional BBQ rub. That means it’s excellent as a finishing seasoning, but it can also be used:

• as a light pre-seasoning for chicken, pork or potatoes
• as part of a dry brine
• as a base layer underneath another rub
• anywhere you want a savoury, salty flavour boost without heavily coating the food

Quick Guide

Use a seasoning salt when you want a finer, more even, salt-led flavour.
Use a BBQ rub when you want a more complex coating that helps build crust, bark or a stronger outer flavour layer.

How to Use as a Rub

Apply the seasoning evenly over the surface of your meat, ensuring full coverage on all sides. For best results, lightly coat with a small amount of oil first to help the rub adhere.

For quick cooks like burgers or steaks, season just before cooking. For larger cuts such as ribs, pork shoulder or chicken, apply the rub at least 30–60 minutes in advance, or leave overnight in the fridge to allow the flavours to penetrate.

Cook using your preferred method — grill, BBQ or oven — allowing the seasoning to develop a rich crust and deep flavour as it heats.

Use generously to suit your taste.

How to Use as a Paste

To create a paste, mix the rub with a small amount of oil, water or melted butter until it forms a thick, spreadable consistency.

Apply the paste evenly over your meat, coating all surfaces to ensure full flavour coverage. This method is ideal for larger cuts or when you want a more intense, well-bound seasoning layer.

For best results, leave the coated meat to rest for 1–2 hours, or refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to develop.

Cook as desired — the paste will help form a rich, flavourful crust while keeping the surface well seasoned throughout cooking.

How to Use as a Marinade

To use as a marinade, mix the rub with oil and a small amount of liquid such as water, citrus juice or vinegar to create a looser consistency.

Coat your meat thoroughly, ensuring all surfaces are covered, then leave to marinate for at least 2–4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavour.

This method works particularly well for chicken, pork and larger cuts, helping to tenderise while allowing the seasoning to penetrate more fully.

Cook as desired — grilling, roasting or BBQ — for a well-seasoned result with balanced flavour throughout.

About Angus & Oink
