Helpful Tips
- High-quality beef: Use high-quality ground beef with a good fat content (80/20) for juicy and flavorful burgers. Avoid overworking the meat to keep the patties tender.
- Evenly cut wedges: Cut the potato wedges evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking helps them achieve a crispier texture.
- Homemade BBQ sauce: Making your own whiskey BBQ sauce can elevate the dish. Simmer whiskey, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices together to create a personalized glaze with depth and complexity.

Whiskey BBQ Glazed Burgers with Cajun Potato Wedges
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pound ground beef or brisket, chuck, short rib blend 80/20
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salted butter
- 1 onion sliced divided
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
For the aioli:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the BBQ sauce:
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup bourbon whisky
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 cup brown sugar
For the potato wedges:
- 1 pound small gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Mix the ground beef in a bowl with the salt and pepper. Form 4 patties.
- Add the olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Add all but 1 slice of the onion (reserve that slice for the BBQ sauce) to the pan and saute over medium to medium-low heat until very soft, about 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients. Whisk together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until reduced slightly and thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix the mayonnaise with the garlic and refrigerate until you assemble the burgers.
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side. Then glaze the patties with the BBQ sauce and continue cooking for 2 more minutes per side for medium.
- Add cheese after flipping for the final time.
- Remove the patties from the grill and tent them with tin foil to melt the cheese.
- To assemble, toast the buns, then slather on the garlic mayo. Add the lettuce to the bottom bun, then the burger patty, then onions, then top with additional BBQ sauce.
- Wash potatoes and cut into wedges.
- Place them in a bowl and coat with the cooking oil.
- Mix all the spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the wedges and stir to coat.
- Place wedges in air fryer basket, making sure not to crowd them so air can circulate.
- Cook at 400 degrees F (200 C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket twice during cooking.
- To cook in the oven, spread the wedges onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 C) for 25 minutes, flipping with a spatula halfway through.
- If your wedges were larger, they may need more time. Check one to see if it’s reached your desired degree of doneness.
