Rashad Jones

Barbecue Chicken Wings
@rashadjonesbbq

Rashad Jones runs Big Lee's Serious About BBQ in Ocala, Florida, which is exactly the kind of barbecue joint name you want to drive past on a Sunday and pull over for. He has been featured in Texas Monthly's barbecue coverage, which is the certification that matters in this sport.

He beat Bobby with barbecue chicken wings — which, given that Bobby is famously a wings guy, was either confidence or theater. Jones brined his wings overnight, smoked them low for an hour, then finished them on a hot grill to crisp the skin while basting with a sauce built on apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Bobby's wings, per the room, had "sauce sitting on top." Sauce sitting on top means the skin never absorbed it. Skin that absorbs sauce is the entire point.
