Sweet Pecan Rub is a customer favorite...for good reason! This blend is the perfect sweet, savory, smoky combo. We love it on ribson the grill. And it's a great weeknight solution for pork tenderloin. Another great idea? Pulled chicken. Lori put chicken in the slow cooker with sweet pecan, and in a few hours, she had sweet, tender pulled chicken. It's excellent on this slider with a cool, creamy coleslaw. A great dish that makes lots of sandwiches. Perfect if you're feeding a crowd!
