Description

These smoked pork chops with honey mustard glaze offer an irresistible flavor that’s simple to prepare. With juicy, tender chops and a sweet and tangy glaze, this meal is perfect for a quick dinner or a weekend gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops 1 ½-2 inches thick
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk honey, dijon mustard, oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper together. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this mixture for glazing later.
  2. Place the pork chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is ideal for deepening flavors.
  3. Take the chops out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Preheat your smoker to 225°F using mild wood like cherry, apple, or maple.
  4. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of one chop, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bone. Smoke the chops until the thermometer registers 130°F to 135°F, which generally takes 45 to 60 minutes for this thickness.
  5. Remove the chops from the smoker and tent them with foil. Turn your grill to its maximum temperature (over 450°F) or heat a cast-iron skillet on high. Sear the chops for 60 to 90 seconds per side until their internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Let the chops rest for 5 to 8 minutes before serving. Brush the surface with the reserved marinade for a beautiful glaze.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chops overnight.
Ensure your meat thermometer is accurately inserted for proper temperature readings.
Caramelization of the glaze enhances flavor and visual appeal.
