These sweet and smoky glazed pork chops will be a hit at your next barbecue.
Ingredients
  • 2-4 center cut, thick cut pork chops, 1-2 inches thick
  • ½ stick butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons of honey
  • ¼ cup of whiskey
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Make your glaze: whisk together melted butter, honey, whiskey, and a dash of salt and pepper.
  2. Liberally salt and pepper the pork chops. Place the chops on a preheated grill over an area of high heat, and sear for about two minutes per side. Move the pork chops to a lower-heat area of the grill and cover to allow pork chops to cook through - the USDA recommends cooking pork to 160°F, but I would take them off around 150°F so they won’t dry out since they will continue to cook while resting. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or a cast iron skillet to sear the pork, and then move the pan to a hot oven to cook the pork through.
  3. In the last two minute or so of cooking, brush the glaze on the pork chops and return them back to hottest part of grill to allow the chops to form a nice crust. After 30 seconds, flips the chops and brush the other side with the glaze. Repeat this process 2-3 times so that each side of the chop as a liberal coating the glaze. The grill will flare up a bit which is fine, but just keep your eye on them so the meat doesn’t burn. If cooking the pork chops in a pan in the oven, you can brush the glaze on the chops in the last two minutes of cooking and turn the oven up to 500°F to allow the glaze to form a crust.
  4. Remove the pork chops from the grill and place on a cutting board or platter and tent them with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
