Instructions

For the Marinade

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the bourbon, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic, water, and vegetable oil
  • Separate half of it to reserve for finishing sauce
  • Place the other half in a FoodSaver bag, large ziploc bag, or pan with high sides, then place your pork chops inside. Make sure the marinade covers them on all sides. Depending on the thickness of your chops, you may need to make slightly more marinade.
  • Place into the fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight

Grilling your Pork Chops

  • After marinading, heat your grill using indirect heat
  • Sprinkle a healthy amount of Down With the Swine rub on your pork chops
  • Place your pork chops on the indirect side and let go for 5-6 minutes
  • Flip and let go another 5-6 minutes
  • Flip again and rotate 90 degrees for another 5 minutes
  • Flip again and let go for another 5 minutes
  • At this point, your chops should be nearing 145 degrees internal, and when they reach that they are done. Note: Depending on the heat of your grill, the cook time may vary, so monitor closely after your second flip.
  • Once done, remove from grill and rest for 5-10 minutes before eating

For the Finishing Sauce

  • While grilling, place your reserved marinade into a small sauce pan, bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat, stirring frequently (If you leave it alone without stirring, it may boil over, so keep a close eye on it)
  • Once it has thickened, remove from heat
  • Spoon finishing sauce over top of your pork chops
