    What a great rub. Just tried it on ribs based on a friend’s suggestion. Rub only and no sauce needed.

    A family friend gifted us a shaker of WHAM around 30 years ago, and we’ve been buying it to put on dang near everything thing since; pork chops, chicken thighs, pulled pork butt, New York Strip Steaks, and fries to name a few. It’s a great blend that suits a wide variety of meats and other tasty treats!

    This seasoning is fantastic on chicken, pork, beef, potatoes…pretty much anything! My family has been using this for years and I don’t think I could make it through grilling season without it. I also use it to season chicken wings before I air fry them…dipping in my favorite sauce afterwards. Yummy!!!

    Over 30 years ago we visited his restaurant in Memphis. They sprinkled this rub on our steaks. They were the best steaks we had in awhile.We have been using this spice for all these years. We not only use it as rub, but also sprnkled on vegetable. The possibilities are endless.

    We found this at a semi local supermarket years ago, now that I live 3 hours away from it I am so excited we can get it on Amazon! We use it on pretty much any type of meat and it’s amazing. We’ve gotten multiple friends hooked on it as well, that’s how good it is! Click to view on Amazon!

    I had been buying this directly for years — it is the BEST seasoning rub, EVER! Use it on any beef, of course… but it is also great on chicken and even salmon that we BBQ! Add it to your meatloaf… It is so versatile and flavorful!

    I have used this rub for years and was glad to find it still available. We use it on all our steaks roasts, ribs , hamburger and it works well to enhance veggies too. It tenderizes dishes like beef stroganoff and gives a delicious flavor. We uses it sparingly as it can make your steak too hot. Plus a bottle of this last us a long time. So it’s a great value, priced fair. I’m spoiled from getting a better price for volume, to give it as gifts. We love it!

    JMom

    My husband was lucky enough to try this seasoning at a work event. He raved about it so I ordered it. Not expecting to like it more than of the other spices that we use frequently. I was wrong! This seasoning is amazing!!! My kids cleaned their plate and told us that this chicken was for royalty! My hubby just threw some seasoning on the whole chicken and roasted it in the oven. No grill or smoker involved and it was fantastic!

    This is some of the best barbecue rub available in the US. It was designed and made Years Ago by the late John Willingham out of Memphis Tennessee. He won multiple Grand championships at BBQ cook-offs Nationwide using this rub and also used and sold it in his restaurant formerly in Memphis. It is not easy to find this. I have only found it on Amazon. You cannot find it in grocery stores in the Memphis Area any longer. If you have not tried this rub you must try some. It comes in three flavors. I swear by it. You can use it on chicken, pork, beef, lamb, shrimp, and on potato salads. Is extremely versatile. Try some I guarantee you will like it

    I was given a bottle for Christmas and used it on pork tenderloin and it was pretty darn good. Not until I used it on ribs did I realize how great this stuff is. Any backyard smoker could seriously win a rib burn off with this rub. I immediately ordered 2 more bottles and will never smoke ribs without it. Thank you Willinghams!!

    The best dry rub you can buy for your BBQ. This product has one numerous national championships which are all listed on the back of the bottle. Make your home BBQ the best that it can be. Season liberally 24 hours before cooking your pork or beef! Smoke or cook low and slow. Wow!

    JB

    We love the taste of the Willingham’s seasoning on roasts, burgers, and chicken. It is often used with olive oil, salt, and pepper in the crockpot with a pork and/or beef roast (and water). We simmer it all day. The flavors are great.

    I was given this rub by my mother-in-law whose father used it religiously prior to his passing. Not that heritage matters but my MIL’s father was Afr. American and he knew how to season up some meats on the grill/smoker. I tried a self made rub that just didn’t cut it. This rub has all the boldness and subtle flavors for a really nice smoked ribs. I have a hybrid method that I learned from chef on food network that calls for boiling the ribs to about 198 or so degrees (but DO NOT EXCEED 200 degrees) then while the slabs are still hot with the sweat of the slight boiling water I sprinkle this rub on liberally evenly and allow it to sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the seasons to absorb. I have my smoker all set outside and cook these indirect smoke method so they never get direct heat under them. I use various woods for the smoke and usually soak them in water the night before so they slow burn instead of engulfing when they hit coals. When I make several slabs I stack them on each other as high as the grill lid will allow me. I then just alternate each slab so they get evenly cooked and the juices run on the lower ribs. The final temp for the ribs needs to be about 210 and this usually takes about 2 hours to 2.5 hours. This is a shorter method as you precook the ribs in the water. The hybrid method definitely eliminates the long smoke time you’d normally have. The smoke and heat will cook the ribs like they’ve been on the smoker for hours and your hungry family and friends will never know you didn’t spend 5+ hours at the smoker! The only thing you are doing is cutting down your cooking time which is valuable to many of us. Good luck and enjoy!

    My favorite seasoning for beef and pork. I’ve been using Willinghams original for the past 13 years. I mostly use it for cooking tri tip and pork ribs over oak.

    Nothing is better than Willinghams! My friend brought me a jar from Memphis in 1982. And I have ordered it from the phone number on the label, usually by the case. It is delicious rubbed on baby back ribs , bbqed, and basted with a liquid smoke/lemon juice/Worcestershire combo. Will never be without it

    A friend turned me on to this rub 10 years ago and it is still one of my go to rubs for steaks and all things cooked low and slow.

    Frederick DeNorscia

    A co-worker gave me a bottle everal years ago and i use it on everything I BBQ. Although it’s a bit pricey it is worth the extra cost. Imparts an excellent flavor that is not overpowering on all types of grilled meats.

    This is one of the best seasonings we’ve ever used (and there have been many we’ve sampled over the decades). BBQ champion John Willingham’s creation has been difficult to find in recent years, so we were delighted to find it available through Amazon. Be sure to try it if it’s new to you. It’s delicious on any kind of.meat, no matter how it’s cooked, so don’t save it just for your next barbecue.

    Edgar F. Garner

    I use Willingham’s dry seasoning on all my ribs in my smoker. Spray the ribs with olive oil pam before you apply the seasoning. This allows the seasoning to stick. Do this the night before and smoke at 250 degrees over Hickory or Oak chips soaked in beer. Never use Mesquite, it will bitter your meat. If you have a water pan use beer not water. 7 hours starting with bone down at first, then meat side down after 2 hours. After 7 hours, reduce to low heat, wrapped in tight foil to break down the meat, heat, for another hour or two. Slicing ribs, always bone up and slice between ribs. I sometimes mix a little steak seasoning with my Willingham’s.

    Kenneth Sandberg

    I use this mostly on roasts (tri tip), and it works fairly well. It is quite mild, so there is no super strong taste from it, but it is pleasant and tasty. It is a good value in sense you rub it on, so there is little or no waste (unlike liquid ones where half of it escapes the meat). So, why only four stars? Well, it is a bit mild (I haven’t tried the stronger version), and the flavoring is light. Still, for the money and taste, it is a good deal.

    This is my husband’s “go to” seasoning when he is making smoked ribs. We cannot find it in our area so we were excited to find we could order it through Amazon. Thanks!

    Quite delicious. The best rub I’ve tried. Family and friends agree too. Only downside is that it can get clumpy in higher humidity. Breaking/smashing with a spoon takes care of that however.

    In the good ribs and great ribs. Use this product and watch the “wow” comments come in! Dry rub and barbecue sauce together works. Use one wings as well.

    I discovered this rub when a friend who has a sports bar & grill brought some of this Wham on a fishing trip. He used this at his restaurant. It’s aroma in the jar is a lot like Worcestershire sauce, which I love. I use this on my smoked baby back ribs & brisket. My kids were big sauced rib fans, but when I started serving dry rubbed ribs using Willingham’s, the were hooked! I’ve tried concocting my own rubs, they were never very good, heavy on the paprika, etc. This is not a heavy paprika rub, it’s very savory, not really sweet, which allows me to finish my ribs in the smoker with a little brown sugar, to get a nice carmalized color. This rub is delicious, not spicy hot. I recommend it highly. This is a good sized bottle, good for multiple BBQs.

    I received a jar of this seasoning from a relative a few years ago and have been hooked on it since then! I use it on baked chicken, pot roast, steaks and even on my thanksgiving turkey. Highly recommend it!!

    This is the most flavorful rub to put on roasts, steaks, fish or poultry. The seasoning blend is far better than anything else I have tried. I can’t get enough of it because we use it so often.

    This works GREAT with the Rendezvous Rub.. If you want that Memphis taste… that true southern bar b que from Rendezvous flavor… then this is what you need… it is the BEST… worth every penny.

    Met John Willingham at a BBQ trade show in Houston around 1999. He gave me and the guys I was there with samples of this rub. I’ve been a big fan ever since.

    Everyone that I introduce to this dry rub loves it. Right combination of savory and sweet. Difficult to over-season with this product. Only drawback is that it draws moisture (even in a tightly-closed container) and clumps. Shelf life is short so don’t overbuy. I’ve had to use an electric spice mill to break it up because of clumping. If it turns dark and is clumped solid, throw it out. It has become moisture layden and the flavor profile is no longer the same.

    I use a variety of Texas dry rubs when I pit and use this when grilling. Can’t wait to to try it on a Brisket or Ribs. Great mix of spices and awesome flavor. A must try for those who haven’t.

    Excellent rub and marinade base, works well for beef,poultry and especially pork.The shipments I recently received we’re apparently exposed to moisture and are caked together a bit, but still useable and fresh enough to be effective.Have been using Willingham’s for about five years now and haven’t found anything better.

    Ok Bambi lovers, try this one. Milder version of Willinghman’s sometimes has some small lumps in it, but no big deal, they easily are mashed. I use it in rubs rather than just shaking it on, so it doesn’t matter to me. Flavor is different than many rubs, I also add this to my own turkey, pork and rib roast rubs which gives it an even better flavor.

    I’ve tried alot of seasoning on ribs. I prefer mine dry. My wife and girls like to dunk their ribs in sauce. W’hams is so good, the wife and kids don’t even WANT sauce.The way I prepare my ribs for smoking: apply yellow mustard to the ribs as an adhesive that will allow the W’hams to adhere to. The mustard flavor cooks off and won’t contaminate the flavor of the seasoning. Then I apply a liberal amount of W’hams to all sides of ribs: top, bottom, sides, etc. Then I place in a 1-2 gallon Ziploc bag, and place in fridge overnight. When you take them out the next morning, they have sat in the seasoning and their juices and they are covered with a gorgeous brown paste. Put those puppies on the smoker.A friend at work, who’s from Memphis, turned me on to W’hams. We can’t figure out how it does it but W’hams is unlike any other seasoning. It literally absorbs into the meat while you’re seasoning it. It doesn’t just form a bark on the ribs. It literally penetrates the meat.When I’m done, I take the remaining seasoning and rub it on my chest.I love Willinghams.

    We were introduced to this product several years ago, and have not found one yet that meets it’s match. We love it on beef and chicken. Try it, I am sure that you will love it also and enjoy your meat even more.

    I absolutely love this rub, and I have been hooked on it for years. It has a great kick to it, and I have found it to be great for beef. I have even used it in batter when frying chicken or making country-fried steak.If you ever had the chance to try it in John Willingham’s restaurant in Memphis (while it was open) or at Memphis in May’s World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest (BBQFest), you already know what I am talking about!

    I have been using Willingham’s BBQ rub for years on ribs, brisket, pork chops, chicken, shrimp, etc. It is incredibly versatile and adds wonderful flavor to each dish. The key to the effectiveness of any rub is the freshness of the spices and one whiff from this jar will convince you that you can’t get generate any more freshness other than to make the rub yourself. I have done that too and I couldn’t find a recipe that has produced as many consistent compliments as Willingham’s. WARNING…ice cold beer must be consumed while cooking and eating when using Willingham’s!
