Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 0.25 cup Tennessee whiskey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature while you prepare the glaze.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Tennessee whiskey, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces slightly and thickens into a glaze (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt. Pour the prepared whiskey glaze into the skillet and stir to deglaze the pan.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Cover the skillet and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Turn off the heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes in the skillet, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the glaze.
Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the delicious glaze from the skillet, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.
