Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Brush the pork chops lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side until grill marks appear.
Flip the pork chops and brush the top generously with the chile glaze. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Flip the pork chops one more time, brush the second side with chile glaze, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish, if desired.
