Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork chops into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the garlic grilled pork chops hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
