Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 4 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 4 (6 ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Stir together water, honey, vinegar, crushed red pepper and 4 teaspoons of the salt in a small bowl until honey and salt are dissolved. Place pork chops and water mixture in a zip-top plastic bag; seal and refrigerate 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to high (450°F to 500°F). Remove chops from bag; discard marinade and pat chops very dry with paper towels. Drizzle chops evenly with oil on both sides; sprinkle with black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Place chops on oiled grates; grill, covered, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of meat registers 140°F, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from grill; let rest 5 minutes.
