Backyard Blend (12 oz) All Purpose Backyard Seasoning

All-Purpose. One Rub. Everything on the Grill.

Stop juggling a cabinet full of spices. West Coast BBQ Company's Backyard Blend is the single all-purpose seasoning that handles every protein, vegetable, and side — from a weeknight chicken breast to a weekend brisket.

Born from competitive BBQ in Southern California, this blend is formulated for that coveted mahogany bark, balanced flavor, and the kind of result that gets you asked for the recipe. It works at every heat: grilled, smoked, or oven-roasted.

Why Pitmasters Reach for the Backyard Blend

The Flavor Profile: Savory, Sweet, and Balanced

The Backyard Blend is built on a three-part flavor architecture:

• Savory foundation — high-quality salt, potent garlic, and rich paprika create the mouth-watering BBQ base every cook needs.
  
• Subtle sweetness — a measured touch of sugar that triggers deep caramelization and builds the mahogany bark characteristic of slow cooks.
  
• Mild warmth — a calculated amount of chili pepper that enhances the overall flavor without heat becoming the story.

These three layers work together. No single note — salt, sweet, or heat — dominates the finish.

How to Use It: No Measuring Required

The Backyard Blend is designed for the home cook who wants great results without fuss.

1. Coat generously — sprinkle over all sides of your food until coverage looks right. No measuring spoons needed.
   
2. Rub it in — press the seasoning lightly into the surface for even adhesion.
   
3. Let it rest — allow the seasoned food to sit for at least 30 minutes (overnight in the fridge is ideal). The salt draws moisture to the surface, dissolves the spices, and pulls flavor deep into the meat.
   
4. Cook as usual — grill, smoke, or bake and prepare for compliments.

Works on everything:

• Proteins — beef (steaks, brisket, burgers), pork (ribs, chops, pulled pork), poultry, salmon, shrimp.
  
• Sides & everyday cooking — roasted potatoes, carrots, corn on the cob, baked beans, eggs, French fries.
