Whiskey-Infused Chicken Wings

The New Pizza Hut Wings Come with a Jim Beam Bourbon BBQ Sauce

— March 17, 2016 — Lifestyle
Pizza Hut recently expanded its WingStreet menu with the addition of its new Jim Beam Bourbon BBQ sauce. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for spicy dishes with more complex flavors. These new wings cater to spice-loving consumers in a unique way.

The new Pizza Hut dish consists of the brand's bone-in and bone-out wings doused in Jim Beam Devil's Cut Spicy Bourbon BBQ sauce. The addition of Jim Beam whiskey gives the sauce a complex and fiery flavor that garners three out of four flames on Pizza Hut's heat scale. The creative new sauce was developed during the National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, New York, where it took first prize in the creative BBQ category.

The new Jim Beam Bourbon BBQ sauce provides a piquant new option for Pizza Hut customers to enjoy.
