MANDARIN PORK
I often serve this pork with fried rice and Chinese-style vegetables. It also makes a great appetizer by itself. Folks have fun dipping the nuggets into the two homemade sauces.

Steps:
- Prepare the pork: Mix 2 tablespoons salt, the black pepper, brown sugar and paprika in a bowl, then rub all over the chops. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and brown sugar until dissolved. Add the ketchup, apple juice, syrup, bourbon, prunes, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 30 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
- Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the grates with vegetable oil, then place the chops directly over the flame and grill until marked and cooked halfway through, about 15 minutes. Turn the chops and place on a cooler area of the grill (such as the edges); cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and brush the chops on all sides with the prepared sauce, then cover and cook until glazed, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with more sauce. Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Serve with more sauce and Smoky Corn on the Cob.
- Peel back the husks from the corn and remove the silk. Butter the kernels and sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika. Fold the husks back over the corn and grill over low heat until cooked through, turning occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to tenderize the pork chops and infuse them with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as citrus juice or vinegar, as this will help to break down the proteins in the meat.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. If you cook the chops over high heat, they will be more likely to burn on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook the chops to a higher temperature, they will become dry and tough.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Mandarin glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the tender and juicy pork chops, is sure to please everyone at the table. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your mandarin glazed pork chops turn out perfectly every time.
