Pro Tips & Flavor Hacks

Ready to become a Nunu’s ninja? Here are some lesser-known tricks to unlock its full potential:

  • Use it as a dry rub: Especially on ribs or brisket — let it sit overnight for deep flavor penetration.
  • Make a compound butter: Mix with softened butter and spread over steak or corn on the cob for game-day glory.
  • Create fusion flair: Try using it in unexpected cuisines — like Korean BBQ tacos or jerk-style pasta!
  • DIY it: If you’re feeling adventurous, recreate the blend at home. Start with equal parts garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and smoked paprika, then add a dash of cayenne, oregano, thyme, and a touch of brown sugar.
  • Pair with citrus: A squeeze of lime or lemon after cooking really brightens up the flavors — trust us, your taste buds will thank you.
