Actually, This recipe really is the original Jack Daniels Sauce. I have been making this for years, long before TGIF ever did. They changed the recipe. This one is my favorite as I am not into all the chunky stuff. However, I am pretty sure this is the first sauce that TGIF made, too. I remember because I was a little angry that they claimed it as their own, when it wasn't. I was making this in the late 80's early 90's.

This is just a good recipe, wouldn't even rate it as a good copycat and the chef who claimed this to be the JD sauce is up in his gord! First and for most I have the JD sauce right here next to me as I just copied this one and wanted to compare the 2. The true JD sauce has a smoke flavoring to it, this recipe calls for none. The true is more of a BBQ ee flavor as this is very sweet yet bland in flavor. This is a good sauce and very simple to make, but don't get your hopes up. I knew the only way I could find out for sure is to get some from TGIF and I am glad I did. I will not give up on trying to mimic this, but I will rate this as 2 stars for effort alone.

I tweak it a little by only putting one beef cube instead of 2. I personally think it’s matches TGI

This is just, plain nasty.

Everyone has different opinions about this sauce but all i can say is that this is some good sh#t, lol!!! When we first used it we grilled the chicken on the charcoal bbq and applied the sauce at the end. Man...the smoked hickory taste along with the sauce reminded me of "Sonny's Chicken" Today I'm doing the chicken in the oven and applying the sauce. Adding a side of white rice and seasoned green beans will make a pleasant presentation for my family's dinner :)
