When you’re looking for a change-up to grilled chicken recipes and you’re craving grilled pork chops instead, this easy recipe is just the ticket! I am all about grilling as much as possible, especially during the summer, because the flavor of grilled food is simply the best! Plus, no house to heat up and no stovetop to clean. These bone-in pork chops marinate for an hour in a simple homemade honey garlic marinade that adds a ton of flavor to ‘the other white meat’ and keeps the chops nice and moist. Pork is a leaner protein which is why it’s important to marinate it before grilling so the pork chops stay juicy and not at all dry. The honey in the marinade adds a very subtle sweetness to the final flavor and also helps the exterior of the pork chops caramelize just a bit. So there’s a lightly crisped exterior sear with a tender juicy interior which is pork chop perfection! Whether you’re in need of a grilled pork chops recipe for Memorial Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, game days, for casual backyard entertaining, or as an easy weeknight dinner, everyone loves these garlic and honey pork chops.
