Things to know about me. Things you should know. I like Barbeque. In fact I LOVE barbecue. I like meats, that have been barbecued. I like the sides that go with a barbecue. For the most part, I don't like barbecue sauce. There are a handful of barbecue sauces that I tolerate, but I don't really LIKE any of them. And I am even less inclined to like them on actual barbecue. If your barbecue was any good it wouldn't need sauce slathered on it. It's like putting steak sauce on a steak. It's just wrong. Of all the meats you can barbecue I like barbecue chicken the LEAST. Anything that claims to be bbq chicken that I eat is the exception and not the rule and should not be used as a predictor of future food tastes. I like the California pizza kitchen bbq chicken pizza. Mostly because it doesn't taste like bbq chicken. But that is an exception. I HATE artificial bbq. Bbq chips, bbq flavored anything. They all taste like a worse version of bbq sauce, which I don't like to begin with, and not actual bbq. This ring made today hits on all the wrong things about bbq for me. Inauthentic not actually bbqed meat, the fact that it was chicken as opposed to beef or pork, the fact that it ALL of its "bbq" flavor came from a sauce. And the it was wrapped in that pre canned dough that every time we have tried to use in a recipe I have not liked it. It was like an ouroboros of food hell eating it's own tail in front of my face. I LOVE barbecue. If you ever want to make something barbecue for me, buy a barbecue and barbecue some meat. Never make me a barbecue "FLAVORED" anything again. Please.
