Sauce of the Month October: Malört BBQ Sauce

At Woodie’s Flat, we take our wings (and your emotions) seriously—which is why we launched our Sauce of the Month series a long time ago… and now you can actually know about it cause it’s on this handy event calendar.

Our rotating lineup of handcrafted, flavor-loaded sauces are made in-house by our unreasonably talented culinary team led by Executive Chef Jim Heflin, Elvis, and Blanca. Every month, we feature a new limited-run sauce that you can try when you dine in with us—because we toss it fresh to order. Takeout and delivery? You’ll still get the sauce, but it comes on the side. We trust you to sauce responsibly–try not to screw it up.

And for those of you with a keen eye for detail will notice we have different sauces each month, and October is going to be filled with Malort. (And regret)

October’s sauce is Malört BBQ Sauce

One day at the bar, we thought what if we made a wing sauce that was objectively bad? So head chef Jim took our sweet bourbon glaze and replaced the bourbon with Malört, because we are not just American but also Chicagoan! The result? A bold, BBQ-style sauce that’s surprisingly edible and definitely unforgettable.

Try it while it lasts… or spend the rest of the summer haunted by what could’ve been.
