Ingredients
  

Main

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 ⅔ tablespoons honey

  • 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 tenderness and juiciness, always rely on an instant-read thermometer; the target internal temperature for pork chops is 145°F (63°C), followed by a brief rest. The honey and ketchup in the glaze are prone to charring, so apply it in the final stages of grilling, brushing thinly and frequently to build layers of flavor without burning. Patting the pork chops dry before they hit the grill ensures a superior sear. Consider finishing the chops with a final brush of fresh glaze off the heat for extra vibrancy, and always allow the meat to rest for 5-7 minutes before serving to redistribute juices, ensuring a tender bite.
