Great recipe! Tastes almost the same as original one. I used just 1 cup of molasses and sauted onion in place of powder plus some garlic and it is fantastic!

Guest: Jamesss 2011-07-11
Amazing, tastes exactly like the real thing. Simply amazing. i used 2/3 of a cup of sugar, 2 stock cubes and half a tbsp of tobasco

Tried it with some grilled chicken. The taste is definitely closer to the TGI taste than any other recipe I've found. I cut the brown sugar to 1 cup, like said before. And would cut the tabasco sauce a bit next time (though I used Louisiana sauce, which may have made a difference.) Awesome!

I wasn't sure of this recipe because of the ingredients. However, I followed the recipe exactly (including all the sugar)and it turned out great. Thank you.

excellent sauce - I didn't have any onion powder so I used dried onion flakes and it was very good. I have used it on fish, chicken breasts and beef, cooked them all on the grill.

I was VERY skeptical of this recipe. I have been looking online for a while. I just finished making this one and it was awesome! I believe it tastes just like Fridays, but I haven't had theirs in a while. Like most everyone, I tweaked it a bit with everyones suggestions. Ok, so what I did was take 1/4c. onion and sautee it in the pan. Then added the Jack with about 1tbsp of Olive Oil. I let this boil out some of the alcohol before I added everything else. Then I added everything else in no particular order. Simmered for about 20 minutes to make sure the alcohol was out. It turned out awesome! Also, only 1cup of brown sugar, and 1 tsp. ... read more

Great recipe! A must for those that like Jack Daniel's sauce. Best to use 1 cup of brown sugar--2 is too much and will ruin your sauce. Add a garlic clove for an additional level of flavor.

Very easy to make and the flavor was very very close to TGI Fridays. It was a little bit more spicy then Friday's.

Guest: amazing 2007-09-11
it was amazing and they key is add a little less brown suger trust me but it taste just like T.G.I. its worth the time it takes to make it

Sweet the kid love it on deep fried chicken wings, served in a bowl with cut up raw veggies. they dip the veggies in the sauce with the wings in the bowl. I put tablespoon of olive oil in sauce pan and saute a tp shaved onion and 1/2 minced garlic until garlic is golden brown, then deglaze pan with the Jack Daniels and let whiskey evap. add water and continue. the kids love it.

Very good recipe. Try adding half a small diced onion (saute first) and cutting back on the brown sugar. Overall, excellent replica.

Guest: chef lib's 2006-06-14
Excellent.. yup everyone this is the one I used at my B day party .. <busted> :)

Guest: fuhgeddaboutit 2006-05-27
BAM!!!! this sauce was tight, almost exact to the restaurant. little less onion and brown sugar makes it a little better.....all in all a very good replica.

When I made this, it came out too spicy for my taste--I'm going to try again with only a teaspoon of Tabasco instead of a tablespoon. Everything else about this recipe is great--it is easy, tasty, and it uses ingredients I already had around the house. It was good on pork.
