Tips:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent the chops from becoming overcooked and dry.
- Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
- For the sweet and sour glaze, use a combination of brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. This will create a glaze that is both sweet and tangy, with a hint of smokiness from the grilled pork chops.
- Serve the grilled smoked pork chops with the sweet and sour glaze over rice or mashed potatoes. You can also add a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
