Grilled Pork Chops Spicy Peach Glaze (Printable Version)

Perfectly grilled pork chops with a sweet-spicy peach glaze that creates caramelized perfection in just 25 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Pork Chops

01 - 4 bone-in pork chops, 1 inch thick
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Spicy Peach Glaze

08 - 1 cup peach preserves
09 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
10 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
11 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ Optional Garnish

12 - Fresh peaches, sliced

# Steps:

01 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat to ensure proper searing and attractive grill marks.
02 - Combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture evenly over all surfaces of pork chops.
03 - Whisk together peach preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes until smooth and well combined.
04 - Place seasoned pork chops on preheated grill. Cook 4-5 minutes on first side without moving until distinct grill marks form.
05 - Flip pork chops and brush generously with spicy peach glaze. Continue grilling 4-5 minutes, basting with additional glaze at halfway point.
06 - Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of chop. Internal temperature should reach 145°F for safe consumption. Continue cooking if needed.
07 - Remove pork chops from grill and let rest 5-10 minutes to retain juices. Serve immediately garnished with fresh peach slices if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Pat pork chops dry before seasoning to ensure proper searing and grill mark formation.
02 - For enhanced grill marks, rotate chops 90 degrees halfway through cooking on each side.
03 - Boneless pork chops cook faster - check doneness after 3-4 minutes per side.
04 - Leftover glaze stores refrigerated up to one week and works excellently as chicken marinade.
