Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Get ready to sink your teeth into the most mouthwatering, finger-licking, and succulent grilled pork loin chops of your life.
Imagine a marinade that’s a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors, all combined to create a dish that’s sure to become a staple in your household.
First, let’s start with the magic that happens when you combine honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, ginger, onion powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Whisk all these ingredients together until they’re well combined, and you’ll have a marinade that’s sure to make your taste buds do the happy dance.
Next, pour half of this amazing marinade into a large resealable plastic bag, add your pork loin chops, coat them evenly, squeeze out any excess air, and seal the bag. Now, let the magic happen in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours, turning the chops occasionally.
While your pork chops are getting their flavor on, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chops from the marinade, shake off any excess, and discard the marinade from the plastic bag.
Now it’s time to get your grill on! Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and baste them with some of the reserved marinade. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side, or until the meat is browned, no longer pink inside, and shows those beautiful grill marks. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F.
While your pork chops are cooking, pour the remaining reserved marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the marinade has thickened slightly. This will be the perfect sauce to serve with your grilled pork chops.
And there you have it, folks! A recipe that’s sure to become a favorite in your household. The best part? You can easily customize it to your taste by replacing Worcestershire sauce with teriyaki sauce or cutting the pork chops into kabob sizes and marinating them for a shorter time.
So go ahead, fire up your grill, and get ready to indulge in the most epic grilled pork loin chops of your life!
