TL;DR
America is combining bourbon and barbecue for a new food trend. Buffalo Wings & Rings executive chef Elliot Jablonsky comments on the flavor profile of bourbon barbecue.
“[The flavor] starts with heat, then sweet, then finishes with smoke,” said Elliot Jablonsky, executive chef of Buffalo Wings & Rings. “Bourbon definitely brings the smoke and kind of a wood flavor, like oak does to wine, in a good way.”
The reason for the spike in popularity of bourbon barbecue is the newness of the flavor.
“When you’ve been doing wings for years, it’s not that often that you can give people something a little more current,” he said.
