Hot Honey Pork Chops

These Hot Honey Pork Chops bring together tender pork, sweet brown sugar, and a little heat. Thick-cut boneless pork chops make this an easy dinner with plenty of flavor. A simple hot honey glaze comes together with just two ingredients. The glaze caramelizes under the broiler for a delicious finish.

This recipe requires very little preparation, which makes it perfect for a busy weeknight. You can use homemade hot honey or your favorite store-bought variety. Choose a mild or spicy hot honey based on your preferred level of heat.

I served these pork chops with Loaded Mashed Sweet Potatoes for a sweet and savory dinner. The combination worked beautifully with the spicy-sweet glaze. You can easily pair the pork chops with your favorite vegetables, potatoes, or salad.

Author: Rose Thicket Farms

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons hot honey or hot honey of your choice

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Score the fat on the pork chops and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Pour the vegetable oil into the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the seasoned pork chops in the dish.
• Combine the brown sugar and hot honey in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds, then stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
• Pour the hot honey mixture evenly over the pork chops.
• Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
