Wow. Yummy. Did as others suggested and seared whole, and then grilled to finish. Served with brussel sprouts, salad, and leftover mashed potatoes. Dontcha just love using up those leftovers. And the sauce was so good in the mashed potatoes. Husband and picky teen had seconds. Would serve to company. Thought I had bourbon but was out so used a combo of brandy and Gentleman's Jack. Think I'll make this for my in-laws next visit.
