Note

Safety Note: Always boil leftover marinade that has touched raw meat for at least 1-2 minutes before serving to kill any bacteria.

Storage: Store leftover pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or broth.

Substitutions: If bourbon is unavailable, you can substitute with apple cider vinegar or a mild white wine, though the flavor profile will differ slightly.

Variations: For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or extra green chilies to the marinade.
