A delightful twist on classic grilled pork chops, combining sweet and savory flavors for a mouthwatering experience.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer.
Stir continuously to prevent the glaze from burning.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir until the glaze thickens.
Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in water before adding to avoid lumps.
Brush the pork chops with a portion of the glaze, coating them evenly.
Allow the glaze to sit on the pork chops for a few minutes to enhance flavor.
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Brush the pork chops with additional glaze during the last minute of grilling.
This step adds a shiny finish and extra flavor to the pork chops.
Serve the grilled pork chops with any remaining glaze on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
