Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Place pork chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chops. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, for the best flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove pork chops from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the pork chops for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) with a meat thermometer.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chops with the reserved marinade, turning and brushing several times to create a flavorful glaze.
- Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender and flavorful chop.
- Serve the glazed grilled pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
