Grilled Bourbon-Marinated Pork Chops or Pork Tenderloins

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

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!

• Total Time: 12 hrs
• Prep Time: 12 hrs
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 8 pork chops (about 3/4-inch thick or thicker or use 2 tenderloins)

MARINADE

• ¾ cup low sodium soy sauce (use only low sodium)
• ½ cup Bourbon
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh minced gingerroot (or use 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger powder)

Directions:

1. In a bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients; place in a large zip-loc plastic bag.
2. Add in the pork chops or 2 pork tenderloins; seal the bag.
3. Turn to coat with the marinade.
4. Refrigerate for a minimum of 12 hours.
5. Set grill to high heat (about 400°F).
6. Remove the pork and discard the marinade.
7. Place on grill.
8. For pork chops cook for about 15 minutes on each side, depending on how thick your chops are.
9. For pork tenderloins, cook for about 25 minutes turning occasionally or until the pork is cooked; tent with foil and let sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Delicious!

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.

Delicious!! Marinated over night and made in broiler, about 12 minutes. Perfect combination of flavors.
