Being your own boss sounds glamorous, but what every business owner will tell you is that it takes more: more information, more planning, and more work. Getting insights from those who have not only been there but are continuing to drive success can be invaluable. |

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 c. ketchup
- 3/4 c. bourbon
- 1/4 c. molasses
- 1/4 c. cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds total)
Instructions
- Heat oil and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until garlic sizzles (do not let brown), about 1 minute. Add chili powder and cayenne. Cook, constantly stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add ketchup, bourbon, molasses, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer, occasionally stirring, until slightly thickened, 12 to 15 minutes—season with salt and pepper.
- Heat grill to medium-high. Season chops with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part (avoiding the bone) registers 135°F, 10 to 14 minutes, basting with glaze (about 2/3 cup) during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a platter and baste again. Serve with remaining glaze.
