Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops ¾ to 1 inch thick
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger or 1 tbsp fresh grated
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Optional: sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Marinate:
  • In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, oil, ginger, and vinegar. Add pork chops and marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours).
  • Cook – Two Options:
  • Grill:
  • Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • Sear chops 2–3 minutes per side, then reduce heat to medium and cook another 5–7 minutes per side, basting with marinade, until internal temp reaches 145°F.
  • Oven:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chops 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Serve:
  • Drizzle any reserved marinade (boiled and thickened) over chops. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions if desired.

Notes

Make sure to boil the leftover marinade if using it as a glaze—this ensures food safety.
Works great with bone-in or boneless chops, but bone-in offers more flavour and presentation value.
Serve alongside slaw and grilled corn or potatoes for a full summer meal.

Cooks Tips

Cooks Tips
Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking—145°F is perfect, then rest for 5 minutes.
Pat chops dry before grilling to get a great sear.
Double the marinade and use half for brushing during grilling and half for a finishing drizzle.
