Texas Chain Saw Massacre Signature BBQ Dry Rubs: Review – Rely on Horror

Gun Interactive, the developer of the asymmetrical Horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, recently partnered with LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue to release a line of signature dry rubs based on the title. Lucky for us, the fine folks at Evolve PR and Gun Interactive were kind enough to provide us with a commentary pack.

The Family Recipe Dry Rub Pack comes packaged in a smart-looking black box, branded with the TCM game logo.

The three signature rubs that come in the Family Recipe Dry Rub Pack are:

• Cook’s Pork Rub: Kosher Salt, Brown Sugar, Granulated Garlic, Chili Powder, Paprika, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper.
• Hitchhiker’s Chicken Rub: Kosher Salt, Mustard Seed, Parsley, Coriander, Granulated Garlic, Rubbed Sage
• Leatherface’s Beef Rub: Black Pepper, Kosher Salt, Granulated Garlic, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper

I prepared pork chops for the first rub, chicken wings for the second rub, and steak for the third rub.

Pork Chops

I generously applied the rub to ensure complete coverage of the pork chops. They were cooked on a propane grill at 400°F for 8 minutes on each side. They came out juicy and had a bold, tangy, smoky flavor. This one was easily my favorite of the three rubs.

Chicken Wings

The chicken wings were cooked on a propane grill at 400°F for a total of 16 minutes, flipping them over every 5 minutes. They had a pleasant, mild, herbal taste. This rub wasn’t as strong as the other two, yet had a distinct flavor with noticeable hints of parsley and sage.

7/10

Steak

I was pretty liberal with my application of the rub here since I enjoy a bolder flavor. The steak was cooked on a propane grill at 400°F, 5 minutes on each side, and came out medium rare. Black pepper and cayenne pepper defined its extraordinary, robust taste.
