Liquid Smokeyou can usually find this either near the seasonings or the BBQ sauce/condiments in the grocery store.
3tablespoonsDijon or whole grain mustard
1 1/2tablespoonshoney
2-3clovesminced garlic
Instructions
Sprinkle pork chops with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Give them a liberal dousing of liquid smoke. Set aside.
Heat oven broiler to high or preheat grill to medium-high heat. Combine honey, garlic, and mustard. Place pork chops on broiler pan/grill and cook for 4 minutes (if grilling, reduce heat to medium). Turn and cook another 4 minutes or until an internal temperature reaches 160 F--you don't want to overcook them because they'll become tough.
Baste with honey mustard mixture and cook an additional minute. Turn and baste other side; cook for one additional minute. Remove from heat and allow to stand a few minutes to seal in the juices.
This is a great recipe for the grill, but you can also broil these in your oven in a broiler pan. Just line your pan with foil before you cook the pork chops for easy clean-up.
Store leftover cooked pork chops in and airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3-4 days for best results.
Pre-cut pork chops come in different thicknesses. If you get thin cut chops, they will cook very quickly, so keep your thermometer at the ready and check the temp if they look like they're getting close to being done!
