Equipment

  • 1 Grill
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Basting Brush For applying glaze
  • 1 Instant-Read Thermometer Essential for perfect 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 deeper flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in about half of the glaze for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling; reserve the other half for basting. Ensure your grill is consistently hot and well-oiled to prevent sticking and achieve a superior sear. Overcooking is a common pitfall with pork; always rely on an instant-read thermometer to hit 145°F (63°C) for juicy results. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes after grilling to redistribute juices, enhancing tenderness. A touch of rice vinegar or lime juice can brighten the glaze's profile, balancing the sweetness.
