Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the bone-in pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor. Flip the chops halfway through marinating if possible.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
