Juicy grilled pork chops with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or weekend cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Prep the pork chops: Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you heat the grill.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). If using charcoal, ensure coals are glowing and covered with white ash.
  4. Grill the pork chops uncovered for 4-5 minutes per side. After flipping the first time, brush the top side generously with the honey garlic glaze. Flip again and brush the other side. Continue cooking, flipping and glazing every 2 minutes or so, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Total grill time should be about 12-15 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Serve garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and spoon any leftover glaze over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

Use indirect heat after getting grill marks to prevent glaze burning. Apply glaze gradually in layers rather than all at once. Let pork chops rest after grilling to keep them juicy. If glaze burns, reduce heat or move chops to cooler part of grill. A spray bottle of water can help control flare-ups.
