The Adventurer BBQ Rub by McAdventures – 200g Shaker
All flavour. No pepper.
The Adventurer is my all-purpose BBQ rub, made with no pepper. You get smoky paprika, a lift of orange and lemon, and a warm ginger finish. It's mild, so the whole family can eat it, and it goes on beef, chicken, pork, lamb, seafood and veg.
How I use it: prep your meat, shake on an even coat, and let it sit while the coals get going. It already has salt in it, so you don't need to salt as well. It works just as well in a pan, the oven or the air fryer as it does over charcoal.
I designed it from feedback at my demos, listening to what whole families like and don't like. It's blended in small batches by Black Market Spice Merchants. 200g shaker.
Ingredients: salt, raw sugar, garlic, onion, smoked paprika, ginger, orange, lemon, chilli, dill, coriander, citric acid.

How to use it
Pat the meat dry, shake on an even coat, and let it sit while your coals get going. Cook over medium heat. For a glaze, brush on The Trailblazer in the last few minutes.
Already salted the meat overnight? Use a lighter coat. The rub contains raw sugar, so if it darkens too fast over direct heat, move the meat to the cool side.
Best on
Chicken thighs and wings, pork chops, steak, prawns and fish, roast veg, and chips straight from the air fryer.

- Put the noodles in a bowl and set the flavour sachet aside.
- Add about 10 g of The Adventurer, roughly 2 heaped teaspoons.
- Cover with water and microwave until soft, then stir and let it sit.
