PERFECTLY JUICY GRILLED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, vegetable oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to make a marinade.
• Place pork chops in a container or gallon-sized freezer bag and pour marinade on top.
• Place container in fridge and let pork chops marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer (up to 8 hours - the longer you can let it marinade, the more flavorful your pork chops will be).
