Spicy Honey-Glazed Grilled Pork Chops With Peach Pico de Gallo image

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (1½"-thick) bone-in pork chops (about 4 lb. total)
3 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 Tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. cumin seeds, divided
½ cup honey
2 ripe peaches or nectarines, cut into 1" pieces
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Vegetable oil (for grill)

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from pork chops. Pat dry and season both sides with salt. Set aside.
  • Mix red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl to combine. Heat honey in a small saucepan over medium just until warm. Remove pan from heat and stir in spice mixture. Set spiced honey aside.
  • Toss peaches, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, remaining ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and remaining 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl to combine. Chill peach pico de gallo until ready to serve.
  • Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two thirds of coals on one side of grill and scatter remaining coals on other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and remaining burners to medium-low); oil grate. Grill reserved chops on hotter side of grill, moving to cooler side as needed to control flare-ups, until lightly charred on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Move pork chops to cooler side of grill, cover, and grill, turning often and basting with reserved spiced honey, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork chops registers 145°, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer pork chops to a platter and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Spoon peach pico de gallo over pork chops just before serving.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cook the chops until they are no longer pink in the center.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chops in the flour mixture.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Sriracha in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as rice, broccoli, or steamed vegetables.

Conclusion:

These spicy honey Asian chops are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. With their crispy coating and flavorful sauce, they're sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty dinner, give this recipe a try!
