Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine Jack Daniel's whiskey, peanut oil, oyster sauce, minced garlic, soy sauce, water, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2
Place the pork chops in a resealable zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag tightly. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3
Preheat your grill or pan over medium-high heat. If pan-frying, add a little oil to the pan to prevent sticking.

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or fry the chops for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
5
If pan-frying, deglaze the pan with a splash of water and/or white wine after cooking to create a delicious sauce to drizzle over the chops when serving.
6
Serve the pork chops hot, accompanied by your favorite sides and the freshly made sauce for an extra flavor boost.
