This Honey Soy Grilled Pork Chops recipe makes incredibly juicy pork chops marinated in a honey soy sauce mixture, and then grilled to tender perfection!
Juicy Grilled Pork Chops with the Best Marinade!
These sticky Honey Soy Grilled Pork Chops are an easy dinner that comes together quickly. They require about an hour of marinating, which will give you time to prepare some simple side dishes like sauteed broccolini and grilled potatoes in foil.
Growing up, I only knew of my mom’s super tender salt-and-pepper pork chops, but as I got older, my taste buds began to crave more exotic, bold flavors. At this point, I took over the oven and grill and introduced everyone to baked bone-in pork chops, ranch pork chops, and these honey soy pork chops.
Recipe Ingredients
- Pork Chops: I generally use 6 to 8 boneless pork chops, about 4 ounces each, for this recipe.
- Seasoning: Salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste).
- Marinade: This marinade is a combination of organic honey, low sodium soy sauce, vegetable oil, and white vinegar.
How to Make Honey Soy Grilled Pork Chops
These pork chops are a breeze to organize. Once you season them and create the honey-soy sauce, all you have to do is let them marinate for a little bit, put them on the grill, and then you’re basically done! You can even prepare the marinade ahead of time if you want to, so that you save time later.
- Season the Pork Chops: Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a large resealable bag.
- Combine Ingredients for the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, oil, and white vinegar; whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
- Marinate the Pork Chops: Add the prepared honey mixture to the pork chops; seal the bag and let stand 1 hour. When ready to cook, preheat the grill.
- Grill the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the bag and place them on the grill; cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chop easily releases from the grill. Flip and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145F to 160F.
At What Temperature is the Pork Done?
You want the pork to have an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, you can be sure that the pork is cooked through and safe to eat, but it will still turn out juicy and tender. Please use a meat thermometer to check your meat as it cooks.
Katerina’s Recipe Tips
- Bone-in vs boneless pork chops: You can use either for this recipe, but I prefer to use boneless so that you don’t have to cut or eat around the bone. Also, bone-in chops will take longer to cook through; just keep your thermometer handy to check for doneness.
- Marinating time: The pork chops should marinate for at least an hour, but if you have time to let them sit for a couple more hours, the flavors will be better because they’ll have more time to set into the meat.
- Don’t cut into your meat while it’s cooking: This will let the juices out, so try to avoid doing that and use a meat thermometer instead! Clearly, I’m a big fan of thermometers.
- Stovetop option: You can also make these pork chops in a grill pan set over medium-high heat or a nonstick skillet.
Serving Suggestions
Grilled pork chops are a classic summer dish, and what could go better with grilled pork chops than corn on the cob? This recipe for Elote (Mexican street corn) is one of my favorites! If you want something lighter, this creamy mashed cauliflower is fantastic.
Anything from your standard leafy green salad, to something like this radish cucumber tomato salad would be excellent! I love these roasted green beans with parmesan cheese, too, but any roasted vegetables will go well with these pork chops. Lastly, wash it all down with a crisp and sweet white sangria!
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerator. You can store these pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat. To reheat the pork chops, put them on a tray, cover them with aluminum foil, and bake them for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Freeze. Place the pork chops in an airtight container or a couple of layers of tight plastic wrap, and freeze for 1-2 months. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.

I have printed many of your recipes…one for me and one for my daughter.
The soy pork chops and the pork flautas with avacado crema both were missing the “print” button. Not sure if it is due to me being on an IPad.
