Ingredients

1/2 cup good bourbon
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup brown sugar, (packed)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 pork chops, (around an inch thick, bone in or boneless works)

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together Bourbon, oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt and pepper until well combined.
Place pork chops in a plastic zipper bag (or a bowl) and pour the marinade in.
Seal and move the chops around a bit to make sure they're fully covered.
Refrigerate for around 2-4 hours (It won't hurt them to go longer but 2-4 hours is the ideal amount of time).
Remove from the refrigerator 15-20 minutes prior to grilling.
Spray the grill with olive oil cooking spray and preheat the grill to medium high heat.
Place meat on the grill and discard leftover marinade.
Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once (this time will vary based on your grill and the thickness of the meat so keep an eye on it).
Remove the meat to a clean plate and tent with foil. Rest for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

For the best flavor, marinate the pork chops or tenderloins for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Use a flavorful bourbon for the marinade, such as a Kentucky bourbon or a Tennessee whiskey.
If you don't have any bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey, such as rye whiskey or scotch whisky.
Be sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops or tenderloins.
Cook the pork chops or tenderloins for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Let the pork chops or tenderloins rest for a few minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Grilled bourbon-marinated pork chops or pork tenderloins are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade gives the pork a wonderful flavor, and the grilling process helps to create a juicy and tender texture. Serve the pork chops or tenderloins with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
