Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry using paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the sweet and spicy glaze. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops in a single layer.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Then, pour the prepared glaze over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Cook the pork chops in the glaze for an additional 4-5 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork chops with the glaze occasionally using a spoon.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or rice.
