  • “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!My husband loves this better then the actual restaurant. We now spend 15.00 on a meal for four instead of 55.00 for the same thing!!!! Thanks so much! Finding anything my husband loves is not an easy task and he loves this!!!additonal comment: you can use already prepared ROASTED GARLIC found in your spice section at the grocery store to make this quick and simple. I use spice world brand!!!”

  • “we have made this many times it takes a little work be its soooooo worth it”

  • “What a great sauce!Very flavorful.It’s a bit cold for grillin here, so I browned some chicken and then let it simmer a bit with this sauce.Everyone gave it a thumbs up, and no leftovers (a miracle in this house!)”

  • “We tried this out over Labor Day. Had the kids over and they loved. Used it on wings. Can’t wait to toss some 1″ Porterhouse steaks on the grill and try it on them.”

  • “My fussy daughter thought the glaze smelled terrible when I was cooking it and didn’t want her ‘plain’ chicken to touch the glazed chicken in the oven.Needless to say the glaze got on all of it while cooking and after tasting it, she was hooked on it!She finished up every last piece along with my fussy BF!I used the already prepared garlic to save some time and skipped the crushed pineapple but otherwise was perfect.Once you try it it will be a keeper!Thanks!”

  • “My family and I go to an American Diner in Northampton, UK called Buddies, they do a dish called a Moonshine Wrap. It consists of chicken, onion and bacon with a Moonshine (jack daniels) sauce. This is a better than exact replica, the alcohol content is slightly higher in theirs. So tonight, I fried off some chicken sliced chicken breasts (quite large chunks) with sliced onion and bacon, at the end of the cooking I added a few spoons of this sauce, with some additional sauce poured over the chicken before I wrapped it in its tortilla. Excellent*************”

  • “I agree it’s not just like the glaze at TGIF’s but it is just as yummy.We love it. I’ve made itfor a long time now, and will continue.”

  • “Excellent!! I failed at the roasted garlic and ended up using an equivalent in garlic powder.I also put it in the fridge, thinned it down and used it at a later date.Definetely going into the family recipe book for many more uses!!”

  • “This sauce was a huge hit at my house. I know I’ll be making it again soon.”

  • “Friday’s is my all time favorite place to eat.A couple of years ago, our local Fridays closed.Since then, I’ve gone thru some serious withdrawal from my Jack Daniel’s dishes.Well now those days are over! Made this tonight, and it is awesome!!!!THANK YOU from the bottom of my plate for a great recipe.”

  • “I too found this recipe on a recipeclone website recently, about 5 weeks ago and well since then I’ve made 7 batches of it. We absolutely love it, so much in fact that we are making it and botteling it up to give away for the holidays. The only alteration I’ve made is that I use the prepared roasted garlic that you find in the produce section (in the squeeze tube) which works just as well as the garlic it includes in the recipe. We love it on everything, fish, chicken, kabobs, steak, london broil, seafood, pork…and recently my mother in law said she has been using it on her salads instead of a traditional dressing. Really a GREAT versatile glaze/dip/marinade.”

  • “I haven’t been to Friday’s in a long time, but when I do go, I love getting anything with the jack daniels sauce.I can’t remember if it tastes like the restaurant, but it is great neverless!!I used it to baste grilled chicken and steak the first night.I had leftovers and used it the next day on grilled burgers.It was wonderful!Thanks so much for the recipe!!”

  • “Great taste!!! Congrats and thanks all the way from Ecuador….”

  • “once again, food.com has yet to dissapoint me….i made this recipe, and followed it to the tee…and it was absolute perfection! tastes just like fridays signature sauce! thanks for submitting this one!! i can pour this stuff on anything, and my kids will eat it! lol”

  • “Made this up to go with shrimp.Delicious!”

  • “Great recipie although I think it is molasass instead of brown sugar gonna try it and let you know but it was very tasty and close as ever to TGIF sauce.”

  • “WOW I’m so happy to find this recipe.I am a huge fan of TGI Fridays Jack Daniel’s glaze sauce but we don’t have any restaurants here.Some people review this sauce doesn’t taste like TGI’s at all, but I think it just taste like theirs and still taste fabulous!I also made deep-fried chicken finger breasts with panko bread crumbs to dip in sauce just like TGI’s and my boyfriend and his friend loved them!”

  • “This recipe is ALL WRONG! I made this for TGIF JD Glaze for years! No Pineapple Juice! No Teriyaki Sauce. No Lemon Juice. No Pineapple. No Cayenne Pepper. Some copy, this cook needs to go back to the drawing board. This person is way off base!”

  • “This glaze is terrific! I made just as directed and used it on some grilled shrimp.Sweet and savory with a bit of a kick – can’t wait to try it on chicken too – thanks for sharing your recipe!Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 event”

  • “OMG!! I went out last night to TGIF and had there Jack Daniels chicken for the first time and I loved it. I had to have the recipe for the sauce. This recipe is so delicious, for the first time making it, it was awesome. I have to work on the thichkness, but thank you soo much its great”
