How to Make Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops

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

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-5 minutes per side until they develop a deep golden-brown crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.

Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chops repeatedly for 2 minutes or until the sauce is thick and sticky, and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute.

·
Use thick-cut, bone-in pork chops to ensure the meat stays juicy and doesn't overcook.
·
A cast-iron skillet is ideal for getting a restaurant-quality sear on the meat.
·
Don't skip the resting period; it is the secret to tender pork chops.
·
If the sauce thickens too quickly, add a tablespoon of water or chicken broth to loosen it up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?

Yes, boneless pork chops work well, but they cook faster than bone-in. Reduce the searing time by 1 minute per side to avoid drying them out.

How do I know when the pork chops are done?

The best way is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.

What should I serve with honey garlic pork chops?

These pair perfectly with roasted green beans, mashed potatoes, or a bed of fluffy jasmine rice to soak up the extra glaze.

Can I store and reheat leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat with a splash of water to keep the meat from drying out.
