Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
• 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and season lightly with salt.

Step 6

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
