Oink, Cackle, Moo, with Pig Pickin' Powder

We crafted this spice blend with pork in mind (because, well... the name!), but don’t let that stop you. It’s just as amazing on chicken and mouthwatering on beef. Whether you’re roasting ribs, grilling drumsticks, or slow-cooking a brisket—Pig Pickin’ Powder brings out the best in every bite.

It is mild and smoky, full of flavor, not fire and totally family-friendly
