Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.25 cup whiskey, 0.25 cup pure maple syrup, and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard. Stir and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops (6 oz each) with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
Step 3: Brush 2 tbsp olive oil on the pork chops and preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Step 4: Place pork chops on the grill and cook 4-5 minutes per side, brushing generously with the whiskey-maple glaze during the last 3 minutes of grilling to build up a sticky, caramelized coating.
Step 5: Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
