Whiskey Glaze Ingredients:
- good quality whiskey - Jameson, Jack Daniels, Four Roses
- honey

How to make Whiskey Glaze:
Place all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine.

Recipe Notes:
- This sauce will thicken as it cools.
- It is sweet and sticky, with some dark notes from the Worcestershire Sauce.
- I do not like chunky sauces, but feel free to use sautéed onions and garlic in place of the powdered versions that I used.
- There is no substitution for the whiskey.
How to use whiskey glaze:

If you´re gonna be hacked at least you´re in good company with jack daniel´s, bacon and macaroni!

According to my class, and having knowledge of why hackers do what they do, this type of hacking is the work of pranksters. They do it cause they can. Because it's funny to them.
Also, whiskey glaze, yes PLEASE! You know that Jack Daniels stuff they had at Fridays (maybe they still do but I haven't been there in a while) well, I LOVE IT. The sauce, yea, I'd dip my fries in that!
Ronnie Cripe says
They still have it at The.G.I.Fridays.I dipped my shrimp in it yesterday then spilled it.
