How to Make Whiskey Marinade For Chicken Pork Or Steak

In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup of your favorite whiskey. Whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add 1/4 cup olive oil to the whiskey and brown sugar mixture. Stir to combine.
Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Whisk until well blended.
Place your chosen meat (approximately 1.5 lbs) in a resealable container or zip-top bag large enough to hold the meat and marinade.
Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
Seal the container tightly and gently shake or massage the bag to ensure the meat is well coated in the marinade.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, for best flavor penetration.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade. (Do not grill with the marinade).
Grill the meat to your desired doneness, turning occasionally, for approximately 10-15 minutes for steak, 15-20 minutes for chicken, and 20-25 minutes for pork. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat reaches a safe internal temperature.
