Grilled Bourbon-Marinated Pork Chops or Pork Tenderloins

"Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade for a minimum of 12 hours. Use this marinade for 2 pork tenderloins or 6-8 pork chops. You can reduce the bourbon to 1/3 cup but 1/2 cup is better!"

  1. Jack Daniels is not a bourbon. It is a whiskey. Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey, Four Roses etc are Bourbons
     
  2. Excellent marinade! I did the tenderloin option, and placed them in a grill basket attachment on my rotisserie. They cooked in about 20 minutes. Used Jack Daniel's for the bourbon. Nice combination of flavors. I think this would be good on chicken thighs also, or boneless country spareribs. Made for Grilling tag game at Kittencalskitchen.com.
     
  3. I tried this recipe this week-end with pork tenderloins. I didn't change anything except to add more brown sugar & garlic. What can I say, the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful. We like it so much we heated up the marinade to make sure it was safe and to use with the meat. This deserves more than 5 stars for sure. Thank you, thank you! UPDATE - Made this again (still love it). I use the low sodium soy sauce and don't add any other salt. That way people can add salt to their dish as they like. I have to keep on the low sodium side of recipes. Thanks! UPDATE: Made this for my sister & her husband. He has health issues and any meat he eats has to be really tender. Cooked it in the crockpot this time is absolutely melted in our mouths. Another convert!! Thank you again and again!!!!
     
  4. This was so good, at 9:00 at night I had to yell at the boys to not eat anymore (they each had 4 chops for dinner) so Dad could have for lunch. Went out and bought more pork chops, marinated them then froze so we can have anytime without waiting a day!
     
  5. This was a very moist pork chop! I made two changes to the recipe- first, I cut the marinade in half and used for 4 chops that were just under 3/4 inch thick. Second, I used regular soy sauce instead of low sodium. DO NOT make the mistake of using regular soy sauce. It will be too salty. I'll be enjoying this again, thanks so much for posting.

Tweaks

  1. I substituted Coconut Aminos for the soy sauce. This turned out absolutely wonderful when used on 2 pork loins marinated for 16hrs and then grilled! Used fresh ginger too. Juicy and flavorful! Thanks KittenCal for another great recipe! I love all your recipes, and this one was no different. (PS : The juices on the plate are from the resting meat after it was cooked and sliced, not from the marinade/gravy. Yum!)

  2. Try using apple bourbon and use less sugar - just 1 tablespoon
