Whiskey pork chops are a staple of Southern cuisine, offering a delectable combination of smoky, savory, and subtly sweet flavors. This classic dish is typically made with thick-cut pork chops that are marinated in a flavorful whiskey-based sauce before being grilled or pan-fried. The whiskey marinade helps to tenderize the pork chops while infusing them with a distinctive and aromatic flavor. While the cooking process may vary depending on personal preference, the result is always a juicy and succulent pork chop that is bursting with flavor.

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.
