Best Cut of Pork to Use For Pork Chops

Now, let’s chat about what kind of pork chops to use in this recipe.

Boneless or bone-in, you ask? Well, you’re in luck because both work great!

Boneless pork chops are readily available, beginner-friendly, and cook fast.
Bone-in pork chops are a little more expensive and need longer on the heat.

I usually go for bone-in because the flavor is better and they stay super juicy. Boneless can dry out pretty quickly.

But with this marinade and glaze, you won’t have to worry about that!

Just remember: thicker chops need longer to cook. And anything under 1-2 inches is more likely to dry out.

Ingredients

Ketchup – A 1/2 cup of this tomato-based condiment adds a tangy, sweet base to our glaze.
Honey – We’ll need 2 2/3 tablespoons of this natural sweetener. It lends a subtle sweetness that complements the pork.
Low-Sodium Soy Sauce – This adds an umami touch to the dish while keeping the sodium level in check.
Garlic – 2 cloves, crushed, gives this dish a bold kick. It balances the sweetness of honey and ketchup.
Pork Chops – You need 6 pork chops, weighing about 4 ounces and approximately 1 inch thick each.
- This size ensures a juicy outcome once grilled.

How to Make Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Here’s how you make honey garlic pork chops:

1. Fire up that grill. Set it to medium heat and give the grate a nice light greasing. Got all your ingredients ready? Great!

2. Make the sauce. Grab a bowl and toss in your ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and crushed garlic. Give it a good stir, and voila- a delicious glaze.

3. Grill. Lay those pork chops on your hot grill. As they sizzle away, coat each side with the prepared glaze.

4. Patience is key. Keep those pork chops grilling until the center is no longer pink. This takes about 7-9 minutes on each side.

5. Safety first! Whip out your instant-read thermometer and stick it into the center of a chop. If it reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, your pork is fully cooked.

6. Serve! Plate up those hot pork chops and dig in.

Tips for the Best Pork Chops

Follow these tips and tricks to make the best honey garlic pork chops possible:

Fancy infusing your chops with extra flavor? Let them marinate in the glaze for several hours or even overnight. Just remember to reserve some sauce for brushing during grilling.

If you’re a fan of heat, don’t be shy! Add chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to your glaze for extra spiciness.

Want a sweeter touch to your chops? Add a bit more honey to the glaze. Trust me, it’s a sweet dream come true!

Not a fan of pork? No worries! This glaze works wonders on chicken or beef, too.

Let your cooked chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps keep them juicy and tender.

Double up your glaze recipe and save some to serve on the side. Because you can never have too much of that delicious honey garlic goodness!
