Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup bourbon, 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard until smooth and set aside as your glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops (about 6 oz each) and brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season evenly with 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place pork chops on the grill and cook for 4 minutes per side, uncovered.
  4. Step 4: During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the bourbon-maple glaze generously on both sides of the pork chops. Continue cooking until the glaze is caramelized and pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove the chops from the grill, tent with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
