T.G.I. Friday's Jack Daniels Sauce
Description
This Jack Daniels BBQ sauce recipe is an easy, from-scratch copycat of T.G.I. Friday's famous whiskey sauce for salmon, ribs, chicken, and pork chops.
Ingredients
•
1 head garlic
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar
•
1 cup pineapple juice
•
2/3 cup water
•
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
•
1 tablespoon soy sauce
•
3 tablespoons lemon juice
•
3 tablespoons minced white onion
•
1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
•
1 tablespoon crushed pineapple
•
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2
Cut about 1/2-inch off top of garlic head. Trim root, so garlic sits flat. Remove outer layers of papery skin, leaving enough so cloves remain intact.
3
Place garlic into a small baking dish, drizzle olive oil on top, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
4
Roast garlic in the preheated oven until cloves are soft and fragrant, about 1 hour.
5
Stir brown sugar, pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce together in a saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer.
6
Squeeze sides of garlic until pasty roasted garlic emerges.
7
Measure 2 teaspoons roasted garlic into the saucepan and whisk until incorporated. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
8
Stir lemon juice, onion, bourbon whiskey, pineapple, and cayenne pepper into sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid reduces by half and turns thick and syrup-like, 40 to 50 minutes.
