Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry using paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the sweet and spicy glaze. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops in a single layer.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Then, pour the prepared glaze over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated.
Cook the pork chops in the glaze for an additional 4-5 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork chops with the glaze occasionally using a spoon.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or rice.
