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

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Make sure the whiskey glaze is simmering gently before adding the pork chops back to the pan.
Cook the pork chops in the glaze for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are heated through.
Serve the pork chops immediately with the whiskey glaze.
