JUICY GRILLED THIN-CUT PORK CHOPS



Juicy Grilled Thin-Cut Pork Chops image

I am posting this because these are the juiciest pork chops I've ever come across, even the second day. I hate left over pork chops because they are always dry. I usually make my via Shake & Bake, but only make two to avoid any leftovers. I saw this on Cook's Country and thought, why not, I love grilling and buying 4 at a time is usually the better bargain. I was shocked how juicy and tender they were. I have found my new leftover pork chop recipe. I hope you will too with this one.

Warning - the sauce does not smell or taste very good on its own! But it makes the best grilled pork chops I have ever had. Serve it with grilled pineapple slices and rice.
