Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Step 3
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the pork chops lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side until grill marks appear.
Step 6
Flip the pork chops and brush the top generously with the chile glaze. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pork chops one more time, brush the second side with chile glaze, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish, if desired.
