TGI Friday’s Jack Daniels Barbeque Glaze Recipe to Make at Home

The truth is that most “chain” sauces are not really very good.

It’s understandable when you consider that a national restaurant has to please tastes in cities and towns from Maine to California and Washington to Florida. And that’s impossible.

A hot sauce that would please a Texan would be way too hot for most people in Ohio, for example. A good mustard in New Jersey would never please someone in Denver. And consider that there are 1,000’s of varieties of hot sauce, BBQ, mustard, gravy, steak sauce, etc.

No, most chain restaurants do not have very good sauces.

Which is why it is such a pleasant surprise to discover T.G.I. Friday’s Jack Daniels Barbeque Glaze.

This stuff is good. Really good.

It’s smokey and tangy and sweet. It’s everything you want from a barbeque glaze.

Is it the best ever? Of course not. But it may be the best chain sauce I’ve ever tasted.

T.G.I. Friday’s Jack Daniels Barbeque Glaze

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1 cup Pineapple Juice
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 1/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 3 tablespoons minced White Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Jack Daniels Whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon crushed Pineapple
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

Roast Garlic:

  1. Cut about 1/2 inch off of the top of the Garlic and then cut the roots off so it will set flat.
  2. Remove most of the papery skin from the Garlic but leave enough so it will stay together.
  3. Put garlic into a small baking pan and drizzle with the Olive Oil.
  4. Cover with lid or foil
  5. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.
  6. Remove and cool.

Mix and Simmer:

  1. Combine Water, Pineapple Juice, Teriyaki Sauce, Soy Sauce and Brown Sugar in a medium saucepan.
  2. Simmer over medium/high heat, stirring occasionally until mixture boils.
  3. Reduce heat until mixture is just simmering.

Add Roasted Garlic

  1. Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the garlic is squeezed out (it should be the consistency of butter)
  2. Measure 2 teaspoons.
  3. Whisk into saucepan.

Bring it all together

  1. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir.
  2. Let the mixture simmer for 40-50 minutes or until sauce is reduced by about 1/2. It should be thick and syrupy.

As with any sugar-based sauce, if you are grilling with it, only apply the sauce in the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking so as not to burn the sugars.

Serve extra on the side for dipping. You may want to double the recipe.

PS. Save any remaining Roasted Garlic to make wonderful Garlic Bread for this meal or up to a week in the refrigerator for an Italian meal.
