Below are a few of our favorite ways to use Smokey Walt’s Dry Rub to turn ordinary meals into legendary Bay County bites.

1️⃣ Smokey Walt’s Party Dip

Mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of Smokey Walt’s Dry Rub.
Cover and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to come alive.

👉 Perfect with fresh-cut veggies, chips, or wings — a crowd favorite for any backyard get-together or beach hangout.

2️⃣ Brined & Rubbed Poultry

Create a flavorful brine using ½ cup sugar, ½ cup salt, ½ cup orange juice, juice of one lemon, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns.
Refrigerate your chicken or turkey in the brine for 4–12 hours.

When ready to cook, pat dry and coat generously with Smokey Walt’s Dry Rub, then smoke or grill to perfection.

🔥 Pro Tip: For whole birds, use apple or pecan wood and smoke around 225°F until the internal temp reaches 160–165°F. Wrap and rest for 30 minutes before carving.

3️⃣ Barbecue Beans with a Kick

Combine 1 can each of light red kidney beans, dark red kidney beans, and white navy beans (drained). Add 1 can Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce, 1 finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons Smokey Walt’s Dry Rub, and 1 tablespoon honey.

Top with bacon strips and bake at 325°F for 1 hour, or smoke uncovered at 225°F for 2 hours for extra flavor.

👉 The perfect side dish for your next Bay County cookout, tailgate, or beach BBQ.
