- Throw the diced onions in the skillet and stir to cook, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in whiskey (be careful if you’re cooking over an open flame; turn it off momentarily to be extra careful) and stir.

- Reduce the heat to low and place the patties in the Bourbon Q Barrel Select Kentucky Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, turning to coat.
- Allow the patties to simmer in the sauce until everything’s hot and bubbly.
- Place the patties on individual buns and be sure to spoon extra Bourbon Q Barrel Select Kentucky Bourbon Barbecue Sauce (with the Texas Sweet & Hot Jalapenos
