1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup whiskey
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

4 bone-in pork loin or rib chops, 1/2 inch thick (1 lb), trimmed of fat
Chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley if desired

Spray grill rack with cooking spray. Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, stir mustard, brown sugar, whiskey, molasses, vinegar and pepper sauce with whisk.

Tips:

Choosing the right chops: Look for bone-in chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
Marinating the chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of whiskey, olive oil, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize and flavor the meat. Be sure to marinate the chops for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
Grilling the chops: When grilling the chops, be sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Letting the chops rest: After grilling, let the chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Grilled whiskey chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your chops are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a new grilling recipe, give these whiskey chops a try!
