Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup honey (raw or wildflower honey preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe peaches, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the glaze by whisking together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the peach salsa by combining diced peaches, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and oil the grates.
  5. Place pork chops on the grill and cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. After flipping, brush the cooked side with the honey sriracha glaze. Flip again and glaze the other side. Repeat glazing 2-3 times, allowing the glaze to caramelize without burning.
  7. Check internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; pork chops are done at 145°F.
  8. Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Serve pork chops topped or sided with peach salsa.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust heat by reducing or omitting jalapeño and sriracha. If glaze chars, move chops to cooler grill area. Rest chops after grilling to retain juices. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable, thaw and drain before use. Chicken can substitute pork with adjusted cooking times.
