TGI Fridays Jack Daniels Sauce
TGI Friday's Jack Daniels Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 heaping tablespoons minced white onion
- 1 tablespoon Jack Daniels whiskey
- 1 heaping tablespoon crushed pineapple
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Cut about ½ inch off the top of the garlic. Cut the roots so that the garlic will sit flat. Remove the papery skin from the garlic, but leave enough so that the cloves stay together. Put garlic into small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle olive oil over it, and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove the garlic and let it cool until you can handle it.
- Combine water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, & cayenne pepper in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils. Reduce heat until mixture is just simmering.
- Squeeze the sides of the heat of garlic until the roasted garlic is squeezed out. Add remaining ingredients to the pan and stir.
- Let mixture simmer for 50 minutes, or until sauce has reduced by half and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn't boil over.
- *Makes one cup of glaze
I’d like to add for the people that are inexperienced like me that you can actually cook this TOO long and ruin it. You need to stop when you think it’s not quite thick enough or you’ll end up with something that compares to candied apple coating and tastes terrible 🙁 it was tasting awesome till I let it cook too long!
Thank you for your suggestion! We ware making this now.
You’re Welcome! Good Luck 🙂 It’s awesome when it cones out right! I clean empty katsup squirt bottles and fill them up with this sauce.
Amazing sauce! Tastes just like TGI Fridays or Denny’s bourbon sauce. Everyone who has tasted it have asked me for recipe. My sauce didn’t thicken up until heat was turned off. Tried boiling it alot. Luckily it never turned to candy. I doubled the recipe. Going to make it so i always have it on hand. It goes good with everything!
I don’t understand how to prepare the garlic for the TGIF Jack Daniels Sauce. Is there a video? Thanks????
Yes, you can watch a video here on my Whiskey Glazed Rib recipe. The sauce I used is the same sauce featured here by itself. https://www.mrshappyhomemaker.com/the-best-whiskey-glazed-ribs/
