Was at the store the other day and they had some powdered marinades for .48 cents. I was there to get some thighs to grill so I picked up a few different flavors. The first one I tried was called Backyard Brew flavor. Now I am going to start by saying this stuff is no Mad Hunky...
Ingredients: Standard over the counter rub stuff. Salt was the second ingredient listed, but had Garlic as the first ingredient.
Ease of use: Very easy to make up just add some beer, oil and vinegar. Though it doesn't make a lot of marinade. It only has 3/4 cup of total liquid added to the mix. And it says it is enough for 2lbs of meat. I found myself flipping the gallon size bag a few times. I followed the packet advice and marinaded for 1 hour.
Flavor: The stuff wasn't bad but reminded me of a fast food flavor on chicken. combined with the smoke I thought it was a solid taste, but there was no "POP" or anything that spectacularly stood out.
Overall: When combining to the above factors I'd give this a solid 6.5/10. I will keep this on hand because it comes together quickly, and does have a decent flavor profile. And for .48 cents it was worth it.
