Time 5h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup honey
6 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
6 pork chops

Steps:

  • Whisk honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag, reserving about 1/4 of the marinade in a bowl for basting. Add the pork chops to the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze bag to remove excess air, and seal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator at least 5 hours.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove pork chops from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Grill pork chops on the preheated grill, basting with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes, until pork chops are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side over medium heat, or until they are no longer pink in the center.
  • To make the honey citrus marinade, simply whisk together honey, orange juice, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and salt. You can also add a tablespoon of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
  • If you're short on time, you can marinate the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes. However, the longer you marinate them, the more flavorful they will be.
  • When grilling the pork chops, be sure to grease the grates to prevent them from sticking. You can also use a grill pan if you don't have a grill.
  • Serve the honey citrus pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Honey citrus pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The marinade infuses the pork chops with a sweet and tangy flavor, and the grilling process creates a slightly charred exterior that is both flavorful and visually appealing. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
