Summer meals don’t get much easier than this honey soy grilled pork chops recipe. The chops are marinated in a sweet and savory blend of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes, then grilled until juicy. A short marinade time works, but letting the flavors soak in for a few hours makes them even better. These chops are simple to prepare, full of flavor, and pair well with cold salads or grilled vegetables.

Why this recipe works

  • Balanced marinade: The honey and soy sauce combination creates a sweet and salty base that enhances the natural flavor of the pork.
  • Custom heat: Red pepper flakes add a touch of spice, but you can adjust the amount to make the pork chops as mild or hot as you like.
  • Juicy result: Marinating the pork helps lock in moisture, making the chops tender while ensuring they stay flavorful after grilling.
  • Quick cooking: Pork chops grill quickly, which makes this recipe convenient for weeknight dinners or summer gatherings when time is short.
  • Versatile choice: Both boneless and bone-in pork chops work well, giving you flexibility based on what you have available.

Serving suggestions

  • Cookout favorite: Serve honey soy grilled pork chops alongside corn on the cob and potato salad for a classic summer plate.
  • Family dinner: Pair the pork chops with rice and steamed vegetables to create a simple, balanced meal everyone will enjoy.
  • Light lunch: Slice leftover pork and serve it over a salad with sesame dressing for a flavorful, protein-packed midday meal.
  • Party platter: Grill extra chops, slice them thin, and serve on a tray with dipping sauces for a shareable appetizer.
