But see how it sort of has that orangist kind of look and of course barbecue sauce can vary from like brown. To red to orange. And I'm not really sure exactly.

Blues Hog Smokey Mountain Sauce is a unique grilling/finishing sauce that combines the rich blend of high quality ingredients found in Blues Hog Original with the added depth of natural hickory smoke.

Serving BBQ in every bite, the new BBQ fried chicken sandwich features an Extra Crispy™ 100 percent white meat filet topped with hickory smoked bacon, KFC's signature honey BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions, melted cheese and pickles, all on a premium brioche bun.

Yes, KFC has some options that are okay for different diets, like gluten-free, low-carb, and diabetes-friendly. The healthiest choice is usually grilled chicken wings, which have just 70 calories each. However, KFC has few choices for people on low-FODMAP or vegan diets.

For those who aren't familiar, this welcome return features sweet and sticky cola-flavoured barbecue sauce drizzled on freshly fried Wicked Wings. The soda sauce marries perfectly with KFC's wicked little kick.

Smoky flavors The final quintessential barbecue flavor is smokiness. Cooking over wood or charcoal involves a lot of smoke. Even on a gas grill, melting fats will drip onto the heat source and produce smoke. As smoke swirls around the barbecue, the food will absorb its flavors.

Mix vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, Worcestershire sauce, rum, mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, ground chile, liquid smoke, and allspice together in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is smooth and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Union and Henderson counties favor a savory Worcestershire-based dip, while over in Christian County to the east the sauces turn again to vinegar and cayenne. It's safe to say that although Kentucky is most famous for mutton, pork is still king, dominating barbecue menus throughout the state.

Back in the '70s and '80s, KFC (which was then known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) sold regular, crispy, and a heavily sauced BBQ chicken. The BBQ variety was discontinued chain-wide sometime in the '90s, perhaps as late as 2000.
