I do most of the same things as you guys ae doing, the citris to tenderize but I have gotten into the Jack Daniels flavoring. TGI Fridays has it on their menue and it is great. There is also a BBQ sause in the stores that is Jack Daniels. I have even done a sause of just pepper and Jack. I let it soak in the liguid sause overnight and grill it. I soak onions in the sause to and grill them. Darn I am getting hungry just talking about it.
