I've tried countless rubs over the years, but Kosmos Q SPG is the one that never leaves my spice rack. The first time I used it on a brisket, the aroma alone had my neighbors peeking over the fence - that perfect garlic-pepper-salt trifecta with just a whisper of sweetness.
What surprised me most was its versatility. Last week I accidentally dumped a tablespoon into my morning scrambled eggs... and now it's my new breakfast ritual. The sugar caramelizes slightly when searing steaks, creating this insane crust that locks in juices.
The shaker top is genius - no more clumpy spice disasters. Though fair warning: I once got overzealous coating wings and nearly sneezed myself into next Tuesday from all that pepper kick. That's when I learned 'less is more' with this potent blend.
My only gripe? The nutrition label seems suspicious with those 0 carb claims despite listing sugar. But flavor-wise? Absolute perfection - whether I'm smoking pork butt for 12 hours or just sprucing up weeknight chicken thighs.
Pro tip: Mix a spoonful into melted butter for brushing on corn on the cob. Game.Changer.
