Preheat the grill to 350 degrees *can also be done on a traditional grill or grilled stove-top too!
Form your meat into 8 1/4-pound patties
Form the patties fairly thin, about 5 inches in diameter
Season with kosher salt and pepper
Before you put the burgers on the hot grill, whisk together the whiskey BBQ sauce ingredients and heat to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat
Remove and allow to cool.
Place the flour in a bowl and the cream in another
Place the sliced onions in the cream
Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat
At this point, place the burgers on the grill
Working quickly and in batches, dredge the onions in the flour, shaking off the excess, and place them into the oil
These fry quickly, roughly 2 minutes per batch
Between batches, check your patties and flip them at about 5 minutes
Continue frying the onions while the burgers finish cooking.
To assemble the burgers, place 2 patties on 1 bun and top with sliced avocado, crispy onions, and whisky BBQ sauce! Enjoy!
