Honey-Garlic Pork Chops on a platter with sauce

There is nothing more delicious than a sweet and savory grilled pork chop. While my favorite type of chop is the rib chop, boneless loin chops work beautifully for this recipe. Keep in mind that loin chops can dry out quickly, so it’s best to have a reliable instant-read thermometer on hand so you can pull these honey-garlic pork chops off the grill at the right moment.

Ingredients for Honey-Garlic Pork Chops:

4 boneless pork loin chops, about 1 ½” thick
Honey
Lemon juice
Soy sauce
Garlic
Sherry or cooking sherry
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions

Marinating your Pork Chops:

To make the honey-garlic pork chop marinade, warm the honey for 10-15 seconds in the microwave. Combine with fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and sherry. Stir well and set aside.
Place pork chops into a resealable plastic bag.
DIVIDE the marinade mixture in half.
Pour one half onto the pork chops and gently toss with tongs to coat.
Seal the bag and place it into the refrigerator for 4-8 hours—Reserve the other half of the pork chop marinade in the fridge for later.

Grilling and Serving:

Preheat your grill for 350 degrees F or medium heat.
Heat reserved half of the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Add a little water if the mixture is too thick. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Cover and keep warm.
Remove chops from marinade and place them onto a cutting board—season with a bit of salt and black pepper.
Place pork chops on the grill and cook for 13-16 minutes or until chops reach desired doneness. I recommend somewhere between 150-155 degrees F., or medium doneness.
Once cooked, remove chops from the grill and place them onto a clean serving platter.
Drizzle honey-garlic sauce over the pork chops, garnish with chopped green onion, or a garnish of choice.
Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Rewarm in the microwave or your oven at 350 degrees.
