BBQ Chicken — a savoury blend for chicken, turkey and poultry off the grill
BBQ Chicken is a ready-made spice blend of salt, tomato, paprika and 16 more warm spices, tuned to chicken, turkey and all poultry cuts. We compose it in our workshop in Klingenberg am Main and bring the exotic aromatics of Mauritian cooking into your garden: savoury, lightly sweet, with warm depth. Salt is included, so there's nothing left to season.
How to use
A poultry all-rounder for chicken breast, chicken legs, turkey steak, whole poultry, poulard wings, skewers and fillets. Works rubbed on dry just before grilling or roasting, or with a little peanut oil, vegetable oil or yoghurt as a short two-to-three-hour marinade. Also as a seasoning in BBQ sauces, dips and chicken burgers.
Good to know: BBQ Chicken already contains salt. Please don't add extra salt, or the poultry turns too salty. Work your way up to the right amount and taste at the end.
Grilled chicken in three steps
- In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with two tablespoons of peanut or vegetable oil and a level tablespoon of BBQ Chicken per 500 g of meat.
- Let it rest in the fridge for one to three hours — the longer, the more intense.
- Place on the hot grill, grill golden-brown on both sides, and don't salt or season again while turning.

Goes well with
If you grill steak and poultry side by side, add our BBQ Beef, the beef counterpart of the same workshop philosophy. For a classic French steak butter with chicken, Café de Paris is perfect. As a table pepper or for refining, we recommend the fruity Seven blend or the bold Mélange Noir. For a ready sauce to brush on, our Painmaker BBQ Sauce is the ideal addition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use BBQ Chicken for?
For chicken breast, chicken legs, whole chickens, turkey, turkey steak, poulard wings, poultry skewers and chicken burgers. Rub on directly or set up as a marinade with oil and yoghurt. Also in BBQ sauces and dips for poultry dishes.
Do I need to add more salt?
No. BBQ Chicken already contains salt — it's the first ingredient in the blend. If you add more salt, the poultry turns too salty. Simply use the blend on its own and taste at the end.
How long should I marinate chicken with BBQ Chicken?
One to three hours in the fridge is enough, no more needed. It also works as a dry rub straight before grilling or roasting without any marinating time. Overnight is not advisable because of the salt content — the meat would dry out too much.
Can I also use BBQ Chicken for pork or beef?
Yes, that works. For a seasoning tuned specifically to beef, though, we have BBQ Beef, composed with noticeably more pepper and a darker profile. BBQ Chicken brings a fruitier, lighter note that also works well on pork fillet, spare ribs and pulled pork.
