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.
