The BEST marinade for Pork Chops! I chose to marinade ours overnight!
The chops were fantastic. I used 1″ thick boneless chops and marinated them for 24 hours. The only thing I will do different next time is double the great sauce (marinade) so I will have extra. I served them with green beans and melting potatoes and the sauce was so good on the potatoes. Unfortunately I forgot to add the cornstarch to the sauce but it was still good anyway. I definitely will make this recipe again and double the great sauce. Thank you.
So glad you loved it!
