Uncle Hemmy's Gochu Knees Weak

Gochu Knees Weak is where bold flavour meets balance. Inspired by the fusion of Korean gochugaru heat and sweet Canadian maple, this BBQ rub brings a globally inspired kick that elevates everything from pork to poultry. It’s savoury, sweet  and just a little fiery — approachable enough for a weekday dinner, complex enough for your next BBQ showdown.

This rub doesn’t just deliver on heat, it’s layered. Crushed sesame adds texture and richness, while premium spices round out the flavour for a blend that hits all the right notes. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or air-frying, it’s the rub you grab when you want to impress without the stress.

Great on:

• Pork ribs, chops, belly, or tenderloin

• Chicken wings, thighs, or whole roast

• Grilled or stir-fried vegetables, tofu, even popcorn

Like every blend from Uncle Hemmy BBQ, Gochu Knees Weak breaks the rules - in the best way. Built for the adventurous, it’s a versatile staple that brings East meets West flavour to your kitchen or grill.

Made in Alberta in small batches, this rub has quickly become a fan favourite and one of our top sellers at markets and pop-ups.

If you love global flavour, crave sweet heat, and appreciate a rub that’s just as good on veggies as it is on meat — this one’s a game changer.
