When do you Add the Hot Honey Sauce to Pork Chops?

The hot honey sauce is added when pork chops are fully cook. Prepare the hot honey sauce in a sauce pan. Then baste the pork chops with the sauce and cook for additional 1 minute.

This allows the sauce to caramelized on the pork chops.

How do you Know when Pork Chops are done:

Make sure that the pork chops have an internal temperature of 145 degrees F before serving. We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the pork is cooked to a safe temperature before serving.

This is best instead of slicing the pork chops which could results in the release of the juices.

Recipe Tips:

  • Hot Grill – Make sure to grill on a medium high heat and clean grill. This prevents the meat from sticking and giving you those beautiful grill marks. We like the grill to be hot for the best texture.
  • Maple Glaze – Prepare the glaze in a saucepan and heat to a boil. This allows for the glaze to thicken. Remove from heat after simmer glaze. Then add to pork chops for the glaze to caramelize.
  • Grilling Pork Chops –We recommend giving the pork chops a nice sear and grilling over direct heat. Then lower the heat and grill over indirect heat. This allows the pork chops to be tender and juicy.
  • Meat Thermometer – Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check to make sure pork chops are cooked before serving.

Variation Ideas:

  • Pork Chops – We love the flavor and the way bone-in pork chops cooks. But you can also use boneless pork chops or pork shoulders to use this seasoning and glaze on.
  • Change the Seasoning – Feel free to season the pork chops with other seasoning. We have added in cloves garlic or garlic powder. Onion powder is also delicious added to this dish.
  • Stove Top – If you prefer you can cook these pork chops on the stove top, it still is delicious. Cook in a cast iron skillet for the best results.
  • Hot honey garlic Sauce – For delicious variation, you can add in soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and ginger. Make sure to heat over medium heat for best results.
