TENNESSEE-WHISKEY GLAZED PORK CHOPS

I don't like whiskey so was a bit ?????? about this, but it is very good. Use Jack Daniel's if you can, the Lincoln county process makes all the difference. From Cook's Country, March/April issue, 2007. The original recipe is for pan-frying, but just use the normal grilling technique for chops and you'll be fine. I subbed raw sugar for the brown sugar to reduce the chance of burning. Prep time includes marination time.

Ingredients

1/2 cup whiskey, JD if you can get it
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 teaspoons cider vinegar
4 pork chops, bone-in center cut 1-inch thick
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

Whisk whiskey, cider, sugar, mustard, cayenne, vanilla and 1 tsp vinegar together.
Transfer 1/2 c of this mixture to a bag, add chops. Press air from bag and zip. Turn to coat chops. Put in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, longer is better.
Keep remaining whiskey mixture separately.
Remove chops from bag, pat dry, discard marinade.
In small saucepan, heat remaining whiskey mixture to a simmer and reduce until thick and bubbly. Add the butter, whisking until melted in and the glaze has taken on a nice sheen.
Oil grill well. Heat grill to high, reduce heat to medium-low. Place chops on grill to sear. Turn chops. Brush glaze on chops. Cook until almost done.
Turn chops, brush again with glaze.
Internal temperature should be 145 when done.
Remove from grill, plate and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops with a thickness of 1 to 1 1/2 inches are ideal. They will hold up well to the cooking process and stay moist and flavorful.
Use a quality Tennessee whiskey: The whiskey adds a unique flavor to the pork chops, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a whiskey that is smooth and flavorful, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in the whiskey mixture for at least 30 minutes helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. If you have time, you can marinate the pork chops for longer, up to overnight.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out. Be patient and cook them until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
Make sure the pork chops are cooked through: The best way to check if the pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.

Conclusion:

Tennessee whiskey pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The whiskey marinade adds a unique flavor to the pork chops, and the cooking process helps to keep them moist and tender. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.
