Honey-Soy Glazed Pork Chops balance sweet honey with salty soy and a gentle kick of red pepper, creating a glossy finish that clings to juicy, quick-seared pork. Charred sweet onions add caramelized depth and a touch of smokiness. This dish shines as a weeknight Dinner or a casual weekend cookout when you want bold flavor with minimal fuss.

1

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
2

In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the honey-soy mixture into a small bowl and set aside for later. Brush chops with canola oil on both sides, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
3

Grill the chops over the hottest part of the grill until lightly charred and crusty, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move the chops to a cooler part of the grill and continue cooking, brushing both sides generously with the honey-soy glaze, until the chops are no longer pink inside, about 3 to 4 more minutes. The juices should run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
4

While the chops are grilling, brush the onion slices with oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill the onion slices until translucent and browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, place the chops and onions on warmed plates, and brush the chops with the reserved honey-soy glaze.
