Jack Daniels Championship BBQ Sauce Recipe

Ingredients to make approximately 1 quart:

  • ½  large onion, minced 1 1/3 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves 5 1/3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup 2/3 cup Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
  • 2 cups 2 2/3 cups ketchup
  • ¾ cup molasses
  • ½  cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/3 cup vinegar
  • 3oz 2 2/3 cups tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ½  tsp 2/3 tsp kosher salt
  • ½  tsp 2/3 tsp pepper
  • 2-3 Tbsp 2 2/3 Tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1/3 tsp or less Tabasco sauce, optional

Directions:

  • Combine the Jack Daniel's, chopped onion, and garlic in a 3-quart saucepan. Simmer until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes over a low flame, then carefully light mixture to burn off liquid alcohol (about 20 seconds).
  • Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until reduced and thickened (about 20 minutes) stirring constantly (a spatter screen is recommended).
  • If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain to remove onion and garlic pieces or puree in a food processor or blender.
  • Let cool for several minutes and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Refrigerating for a day or two will increase the tastiness.
  • Leftover sauce will freeze well.

Crunchy Honey Garlic Pork Chops

 Ingredients

  • 6-9 Pork Chops (not too thick)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 Tbs Water
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying chops

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups Honey
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. Ginger
  • Dash of Cayenne Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs chopped Garlic
  • 2 Tbs Butter


Directions

  • Whisk the eggs and 4 Tbs. water together in a shallow dish.
  • Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in another shallow dish.
  • Dip the chops in the flour, then over into the egg.
  • Then back over into the flour mixture once again. This is what puts the extra crispy coating on the chops. Be sure to get plenty of flour on in this last coating, then shake them a little and place in a pan with about a half inch of oil. Be sure the oil is hot, but not too hot or the chops will cook too fast. You need to get it good and hot and then turn to about medium.
  • Cook for about 6 minutes on each side. Try not to turn more than twice or your breading will come off.
  • Remove from the pan to a 9″x13″ baking dish.
  • Saute the garlic a little in the butter.
  • Add the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, cayenne, and ginger. Bring to a boil then reduce to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Watch this carefully because it will foam and might boil over.
  • Pour 1/2 of the glaze over the pork chops. Flip them over and pour the other 1/2 over the other side. Place uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes. This sets the glaze and finishes them to be sure they are cooked through.
