Frequently Asked Questions About Our Chicken Rubs

Raptor Rubs was founded on one premise: make cooking nutritious and delicious food easy! That’s why to get you started, we’ve curated a list of our most commonly asked questions. If you can’t find the answers you’re looking for below, head on over to our FAQ page for more information.

Seasoning chicken is fairly simple, but here are some tips for helping you get the most out of your chicken rub and those mouthwatering flavours.

  1. Tip 1: Pat Dry Your Chicken
    Patting your chicken dry first almost always guarantees a deliciously crispy skin. YUM!
  2. Tip 2: Oil is Your Friend
    Speaking of crisp and crunchy, don’t forget to oil your chicken to help your Raptor Rubs spices stick. Plus, oil will also help your poultry absorb more of the flavour, resulting in a juicy finish.
  3. Tip 3: Season All Sides
    Don’t just season the top of your meat. Make sure to rotate your chicken, so each side is covered in herby goodness.
  4. Tip 4: Don’t Overdo it
    Remember: the purpose of chicken rub is to enhance the poultry’s flavour. So, apply a generous amount but don’t overdo it. Trust us.

If you’re looking for a delicious bbq chicken rub, you really can’t go wrong with Lucky Kentucky or Bombay Bonanza. These delicious blends are incredible on barbequed chicken and are perfect for those foodies who love a lot of flavour!

The beauty of every Raptor Rub spice blend is that they’re so easy to apply and are ready in a matter of minutes! All you have to do is oil your chicken, sprinkle the blend and rub it all around, and begin cooking. It’s just that simple!

We created this 'winner-winner-chicken-dinner' blend during the lockdown of 2020 when everyone was trying to create their own version of that beloved fried chicken at home. We didn't need to hide any of those secret ingredients, ('coz we don't use MSG) But with a dash of Kiwi ingenuity we’ve worked out how to add that famous umami flavour...by using freeze-dried ‘Quick Draw’ Fermented Slaw (kimchi powder) from our mates at Living Goodness. Make your own finger-licken' chicken (or plant-based chicken) without all the nasties!

P.S. We're very proud this flavour won a GOLD medal in the 2022 Outstanding Food Producer Awards!

If your local Chinese Takeaway joint knows you by name, then this might just be the blend you’re looking for to create a homemade hit instead. A hint of oriental 5-spice mingles with maple powder, Spanish smoked paprika, ginger and chipotle as the perfect complement to roast pork, ribs, pulled pork or stir fry. Enough heat to spice things up, while still keeping the flavour family-friendly for more sensitive taste buds.
