The Best tgi fridays jack daniels sauce recipe

I am so excited to share with you my favorite recipe for TGI Fridays Jack Daniel’s Sauce. This sauce is a game-changer for any occasion, whether it’s a family dinner, a holiday gathering, or just a quick weeknight meal.

I first discovered this recipe at a TGI Fridays restaurant, and I was immediately hooked on the rich, tangy flavor that it adds to any dish. Since then, I’ve perfected the recipe at home and now make it all the time.

My family loves it just as much as I do, and we always have it on hand for a quick and easy meal. The best part is that it’s incredibly easy to make – just throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

You can adjust the amount of Jack Daniel’s to your taste, but I like it strong so I use a full 2 tablespoons. This sauce is also incredibly versatile – you can use it as a marinade, a sauce for grilled meats or vegetables, or even as a dip for chips or crackers.

My kids love it when we have this sauce at our family gatherings because it’s always a hit with them too. It’s also great for making ahead of time – just store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to serve, just thaw and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. This sauce is truly a staple in our household and I’m so glad I can share it with you now.

🥘Ingredients

For the Sauce

1 cup water
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup Jack Daniel’s whiskey
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke

For Thickening (optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, ketchup, teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, minced onion, red pepper flakes, and liquid smoke.
2Whisk until the brown sugar is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
3Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
4Cook uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces by about one-third.
5The sauce should coat the back of a spoon when done.
6If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
7While the sauce is simmering, slowly pour in the slurry while whisking continuously.
8Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
9Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
10Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
11The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
