Enjoy tender and flavorful Honey Soy Pork Chops with this favorite family recipe. The succulent pork chops are marinated in a sweet and savory honey soy sauce, then grilled to perfection. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Serve with steamed rice and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting later.
  5. Grill the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
  6. Transfer the grilled pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps to retain the juices and ensures optimal tenderness.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.

Interesting Facts

  • Marinating the pork chops helps to infuse them with flavor and tenderize the meat.
  • Grilling enhances the natural flavors and creates a delicious smoky aroma.
  • Resting the cooked pork chops allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in moist and tender meat.
