In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the pork chops are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust grill time based on the thickness of the pork chops.
Transfer the pork chops to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables or a crisp salad.
