Q: What dry rubs do you recommend?

A: If you're looking for a great dry rub, we love our Kansas City BBQ rub recipe and Kosmos Q Dirty Bird dry rub.

Q: How do I store the leftovers?

A: Store the leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. We like to reheat ours in our air fryer at 400°F for a few minutes or until warm and crispy.
