Check out my awesome Pork Chop Marinade Recipe post for a larger discussion along with notes and tips. We’ll toss them on the grill for a gorgeous sear, then finish them off with a sticky homemade glaze made from pineapple, spicy gochujang, honey and brown sugar. These flavors are outstanding, and once you try these glazed pork chops, the recipe will surely find its way into your regular rotation. Let’s talk about how we make it, shall we? The recipe breaks down into 3 parts: The Marinade, The Glaze, and The Grilling. You’ll get the best flavor penetration if you marinade your pork chops for 24 hours. However, if you’re unable to find the time, you’ll still get flavorful results if you marinate for at least 1 hour. Even if you only have a single hour to marinate, it is worth doing it. I like to start my marinade the day before, but sometimes will start it in the morning for grilling that evening. This particular marinade is slightly spicy and HUGE on flavor. When you’re ready to marinate, set your pork chop into the bowl and cover them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to grill. Or, you can set the chops into a resealable baggie, cover them in the marinade, then seal and refrigerate. NOTE: This marinade is good for any cut of pork chop, whether boneless or bone-in, and any thickness. This recipe calls for 1-inch thick boneless chops, but you can easily use other cuts.

It’s a must for any spicy food lover who enjoys great flavor. The glaze is quick and easy to make. Whisk together the following ingredients in a small bowl: 6 ounces pineapple juice, 4 tablespoons gochujang, 3 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili flakes, ½ teaspoon salt. Next, pour the mixture into a small pot and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze thickens up. Remove from heat and it will thicken even more as it cools. Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Add the pork chops to the grill and cover. Grill for 3-4 minutes. Flip the pork chops and grill another 1-2 minutes. Get those nice grill marks! I like to use my ThermoPop meat thermometer from ThermoWorks (I’m an affiliate). Works great! Almost there! That’s it, my friends. Without a doubt, these are some of the most juicy, tender, flavorful pork chops I have ever made. It is definitely one of my favorite pork chop recipes. I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know how they turn out for you! Fire up those grills! So good.
