Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for extra tang)

How to Make Grilled Pork Chops

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, salt, and apple cider vinegar if using. This will be your marinade and glaze.
2. Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chops, reserving the other half for later. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling. This helps them cook evenly.
5. Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip and brush the reserved marinade over the top.
6. Continue grilling for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade.
• Make sure to let the pork chops rest after grilling to keep them juicy.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to a safe temperature without overcooking.

Easy Variations

• Use boneless pork chops if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time slightly as they may cook faster.
• Swap honey for maple syrup for a different sweet flavor.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled vegetables such as asparagus or bell peppers for a colorful side.
• A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the glaze.
• Creamy mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes for a comforting addition.
• Steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the extra glaze.
