We were a little surprised by the complexity of this sauce. It’s not really sweet. It does compliment meat flavors very well. We are also amazed at how sparingly TGI Friday’s serves their sauces. You get a tiny little cup of it, and if you want more, you have to pay more. The wonderful part of our version of this recipe is you can make it in a large quantity and use it to cook beef or chicken on the grill or to dip your favorite foods into.

1/3 cup diced red onion
1/2 teaspoon finely diced garlic
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup white grape juice
1/2 cup Jack Daniel’s Black Label Bourbon
1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce
Place ingredients in a sauce pan in order listed. Mix and stir after each ingredient. Place on medium heat and stir until mixture reaches boiling stage. Turn temperature down to low until mixture is on a slow simmer. Cook sauce for 35-45 minutes and remove from heat. Mixture will have reduced in volume about a fourth to a third.
This sauce is great with chicken fingers or crispy deep fried chicken breast strips.
