In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced onion, and Jack Daniels whiskey.
Stir the mixture well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes and continue to simmer for about 10–12 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully meld together.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a smooth slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the sauce for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Jack Daniels Dipping Sauce warm or at room temperature alongside your favorite dishes.
