Equipment

1 Outdoor Grill Or grill pan for indoor cooking
1 Small Mixing Bowl
1 Whisk
1 Basting Brush
1 Instant-Read Thermometer Essential for accurate doneness

Ingredients

Main

½ cup ketchup
2 ⅔ tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic crushed
6 4 ounce (1-inch thick) pork chops

Instructions

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Gather ingredients.
Whisk ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and garlic together in a bowl to make a glaze.
Sear the pork chops on both sides on the preheated grill. Lightly brush glaze onto each side of the chops as they cook; grill until no longer pink in the center, about 7 to 9 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Notes

For optimal results, ensure your grill is preheated to a consistent medium-high heat to achieve a good sear and develop flavor. Apply the honey-garlic glaze incrementally during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning, as honey can caramelize quickly. Consider reserving a small portion of the unbrushed glaze to warm and serve on the side as a finishing sauce, adding a fresh burst of flavor. Always use an instant-read thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked, juicy pork. Allow the chops to rest for 3-5 minutes off the grill before serving; this redistributes the juices, ensuring a tender and moist result.
