Sweet Fire Pork Chops

I'm a big fan of the whole fruit/meat combo. This little recipe has a slight orange undertone to it that's really good. The heat from the chipotle pepper pairs well with all the flavors going on. It's so simple to make and if you've got your grill fired up for burgers, throw a couple of these chops on for good measure!

Sweet Fire Pork Chops



4 bone-in thick cut pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground chipotle chile
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Zest of 1 large orange

1/3 cup honey

Set pork chops on a plate.

Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spread mixture on both sides of the chops with a rubber spatula.

Allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Grill over medium-high heat, 4 - 5 minutes per side.

Allow meat to rest 5 minutes before eating.

The ingredients.

Set pork chops on a plate and mix 

together the remaining ingredients.

Slather both sides of the chops with 

the glaze. I used a rubber spatula.

Throw 'em on the grill over a medium-high flame.

Cook on both sides, about 4 - 5 minutes. 

Allow to rest for about for about 5 minutes before serving.

Delicious!
