For best results, use fresh lemon juice and high-quality honey. Do not overcook the pork chops, as they can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked to the correct internal temperature. Basting with the reserved marinade adds flavor and helps to keep the chops moist, but be sure to only baste during the last portion of grilling to prevent burning due to the honey in the marinade. Serve these grilled pork chops with your favorite summer sides, such as grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and basil. Reserve half of the marinade for basting and pour the remaining half into a resealable plastic bag. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the pork chops in the bag, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (2-24 hours)
03
StepPreheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
04
StepRemove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Pat the chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
05
StepGrill the pork chops over the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Baste frequently with the reserved marinade during the last 10-15 minutes of grilling, ensuring the marinade caramelizes beautifully on the surface. (20-25 minutes)
06
StepUse an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of a chop, avoiding the bone. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C).
07
StepRemove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. (5-10 minutes)
