Honey-Soy Marinated Orange Glazed Pork Chops
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and orange juice to make the honey-soy glaze.
- Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour the honey-soy glaze over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Brush each side with vegetable oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
- Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- While the pork chops are grilling, prepare the orange glaze by combining the orange zest and 2 tablespoons of honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the grill and brush with the orange glaze.
- Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your honey-soy marinated orange glazed pork chops!
