Allow the pork chops to cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container or wrap individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
FRIDGE: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
FREEZER: Leftovers can also be frozen for 2-3 months. Store in a freezer bag with all the air squeezed out to prevent freezer burn.
What temperature should pork chops be cooked to?
It is best to cook pork chops to 145 degrees F. Use an Instant Read meat thermometer to quickly and accurately check the internal temperature of the meat and ensure that it is properly cooked.
What to serve with honey garlic pork chops
We love to serve these easy honey garlic pork chops with white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice. Simple sides like roasted broccoli and grilled cauliflower also pair great with these easy pork chops.
Pork chops always go great with a baked potato too! Or serve them with some grilled sweet potatoes and grilled asparagus for an extra healthy meal. Whatever side dish you choose, these are the best honey garlic pork chops to pair with it!
Pro Tips for the Best Honey Garlic Pork Chops
- Don’t choose pork chops that are too thick or they may not cook evenly. I typically stick to pork chops that are an inch thick or less.
- Never save marinade that has touched raw meat! You should discard it.
- Brush the grill grates with some oil to prevent the pork chops from sticking as they cook. This will especially help with the sticky glaze!
These have quickly become our favorite pork chops on a busy day. You can also use this marinade on pork tenderloin and other cuts of pork! It’s seriously such a yummy addition to pork and creates the most flavorful meals.
