The Secret Ingredient: Char Crust Ginger Teriyaki Dry Rub

The real star of this recipe? The Char Crust Ginger Teriyaki Dry Rub Seasoning! This seasoning has a magical way of sealing in the juices of the chicken, keeping it perfectly tender and full of flavour every time you grill. The combination of ginger and teriyaki gives the skewers that perfect balance of sweet and savoury, with a bit of heat and umami goodness. If you’ve never tried this dry rub before, trust me—you’re going to want to pick some up for your next BBQ!

Char Crust Ginger Teriyaki Dry Rub Seasoning – The key to locking in the bold teriyaki flavour.
