Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, pineapple juice, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved and the marinade is well blended.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the plastic bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and reserve the remaining marinade.
Grill the pork chops for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the pork chops are grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, reducing slightly to form a glaze.
Brush the glaze over the pork chops during the last minute of grilling for extra flavor.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle any remaining glaze over the pork chops and serve hot with your favorite sides.
