directions
- In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, apple juice, oil, soy sauce, ginger powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne (if using); bring to a boil over medium-low heat stirring until sugar is completely dissolved (about 4 minutes) and the mixture is at a light simmer.
- In a small cup mix together 1/4 cup water and cornstarch; add to the mixture and whisk over low heat until thickened; remove from heat and cool completely (at this point it may be refrigerated).
- After the sauce has cooled completely place the pork chops or chicken on a large plate.
- Remove a little sauce to a separate bowl to brush onto the meat.
- Brush liberally with the sauce on both sides; cover meat and chill for 6 hours or up to 24 hours, refrigerate the remaining sauce to baste the meat with later.
- Grill the pork chops or chicken brushing with the remaining sauce while grilling or towards the end of the grilling time.
