Reviews
Very very good.
Loved it!
This sauce is wonderful for my low carb diet! I used Sweet&Low brown sugar substitute when making it. I liked it as a mop on pork chops while grilling, but LOVED it when I marinated some chicken tenderloins in it for 24 hours then cooked them under the broiler! Talk about juicy and nicely flavored! This is my new house grilling sauce and marinade!
Have used this recipe multiple times for chops on the grill. My favorite use, however, is for pulled pork! I double to recipe and use about 2/3 of the water the original recipe calls for. I also use about 1/2 of the pepper. My family likes it a little sweeter so I add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar and omit the hot sauce. I put a 4-6 pound pork loin in the crock pot and add the marinad. I leave it on low all day and pull it apart throughout the day as it cooks so all of the pieces are full of flavor. A HUGE hit with bulkie rolls and coleslaw! Wash it down with sweet tea or a cold beer!
Doesn’t add a lot of flavor, but makes for a moist chop
This is kind of generic, using Kentucky, but it’s pretty good on chicken.
I cut the water to 1 cup. Marinated the chops for 2 hours in the fridge in a ziploc with about 1/3 of the sauce. And constantly basted with remaining sauce while grilling. These were the most moist, flavorful chops I’ve ever had! Will be making again!
I am so tired of trying to make pork chops taste like something, but this recipe really does the job. I used thick-cut boneless loin chops, and let them marinate in a little oil, salt and pepper while I cooked the sauce. I cut the water down to 1 cup, and let the sauce cool to luke-warm and it thickened quite a bit. I cooked the chops low-and-slow on my gas grill, turning every few minutes and brushing on the sauce, for about 30 minutes total. My son said, “this is the best pork chop I have ever eaten!” If you have ever been to a KY Colonel BBQ, the KY State Fair, or a sporting event where the Pork Producers have a concession, you will recognize this taste!
You do need a real mop to use this sauce. It is so wet it just falls off the pork chop. Definitely take everyones advice and thicken this before you use it.
I do agree with other reviews about the water. I substitured 1 cup of good chicken stock instead of water. I used all other ingredients as indicated but simmered the sauce down by 1/2 to make it a bit thicker. At the end I tossed in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh oregano (dry would be good too). I can see using this on chicken as well. Excellent sauce! Thank you!
