How to Make Hot Honey Pork Chops:

Step 1 – Heat Grill – Preheat your grill over medium high heat (approximately 450 degrees F).
Step 2 – Combine Seasoning – In a small bowl, mix together the steak seasoning, brown sugar and chili powder.
Step 3 – Season Pork Chops – Rub the olive oil on both sides of the pork chops. Then rub the seasoning mixture on the pork chops.
Step 4 – Add Pork Chops to Grill – Place the pork chops directly on the grill (on direct heat). Then cook for 4-5 minutes (do not touch it) until the pork releases from the grill.

Combining the seasoning and grilling the pork chops

Step 6 – Flip Pork Chops – Then flip the pork chops and cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes. Cook on the opposite side until the pork releases from the grill and they are golden brown.
Step 7 – Heat Hot Honey Sauce – While the pork chops are grilling, place the hot honey ingredients in a small saucepan. Then heat over medium high heat. Whisk the ingredients together and heat until the mixture is combined and thickened.

Step 8 – Baste Pork chops – Then baste both sides of the pork chops with the hot honey sauce. Cook each side of the pork chops for 1 minute to caramelize the sauce on the pork chops.

Step 9 – Rest Pork Chops – Transfer the pork chops to a separate plate, let them rest for 3 minutes. Then the pork chops are ready to serve and enjoy. We like to season with salt and pepper when serving.

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.
