Tasty Orange Chops

Recipe View 5 mins In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, soy sauce, thawed orange juice concentrate, shredded onion, dried rosemary, ground sage, salt, crushed garlic, and barbecue sauce until well combined. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 8 hrs Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag, removing any excess air. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (6-8 hours or overnight)

Recipe View 10 mins Preheat your grill to high heat. While the grill is heating, transfer the marinade from the plastic bag to a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened. This step ensures the marinade is safe to brush over the cooked chops. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Lightly oil the preheated grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, turning once, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. During the final few minutes of cooking, brush the reduced marinade generously over the chops, allowing it to glaze and caramelize. (15 minutes)
