❓FAQs – Hosting a Garden BBQ with Rubs

Can I prep everything ahead of time?

Yes — rub your meats, chop your veg, and store everything in containers ready to go. The rubs do all the work while it rests.

What if I don’t have a BBQ?

No problem — most of this menu works in the oven or air fryer. Just swap grill time for oven trays or skewers under the broiler.

What’s the best way to keep things warm during serving?

Foil trays and a covered grill or low oven work great. You can also use a cast iron pan on low heat to keep skewers or wings warm.

How many people does this feed?

The menu above comfortably feeds 6–8, with a bit of everything. Double up on wings and wraps for larger crowds.

What drinks pair well with this menu?

Lighter beers, citrus cocktails, sparkling water with fresh lime — anything refreshing that can handle bold BBQ flavour.
