Ingredients:
Marinade
- ½ cup hickory barbeque sauce
- 4 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup J.Olive Co. Pineapple Balsamic Vinegar
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh, peeled, minced ginger-root
- 1 Tbsp J.Olive Co. Chipotle Oil plus a little more for oiling the grate
For the Pork Chops
- 4 pork loin chops, about 4-6 ounces each (1-1 ½ lb)
- ½ cup water, if making the marinade into a sauce
Directions:
- Mix together the marinade ingredients. Place the pork chops in a zip-lock bag and add the marinade. Turn to coat. Place on the counter for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 hours.
- While the pork is marinating, place a little J.Olive Co. Chipotle Oil on a paper towel. Hold the towel with tongs and lightly oil the grill grates. Heat the grill to medium-high. You can also preheat the broiler.
- Drain the pork. If desired, pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Stir in ½ cup water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for at least 5 minutes to get rid of the bacteria.
- Place the pork on the grill or broiler rack. Close the cover, or broil about 4-5 inches from the heat for about 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops. Turn over and continue grilling/broiling until the chops are done, about 2-4 additional minutes. An instant-read thermometer should register 145 degrees.
- Remove from the grill and let stand for 3 minutes under loose aluminum foil before serving. If making the sauce, serve drizzled on the chops or along side the pork chops. (Photo shows without the sauce)
