Ingredients
  • 6 pork chops (bone in)
  • olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • orange and jalapeño knob creek rye glaze
  • 1/4 cup knob creek rye
  • 1/2 gallon fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 2 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced in 1/2 with seeds in
  • 1 cup brown sugar
Directions
  1. Let the pork chops come to room temperature by removing them from the fridge ½ an hour to 1 hour prior to cooking.
  2. In the meantime, preheat your grill to a medium-high heat (a charcoal grill is recommended).
  3. Brush the pork chops with a little olive oil, and season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Once the grill is heated, place the pork chops on the grill to cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees, basting them with the glaze every minute or so until they start to develop a great fiery whiskey citrus crust.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Place all ingredients in a non-reactive pan over medium heat. Reduce by ½ (about 1 hour).
