I love making these Grilled Pork Chops with Orange Sauce. The orange marinade used in this recipe makes these chops so moist and juicy.

As with all recipes that require marinating meat, you will need to plan ahead if you intend of having this for dinner after work one night. I recommend preparing the orange marinade the night before and letting the pork chops sit in the fridge overnight. They only need about 10 minutes to grill which is perfect on a weeknight.

Remember to discard the marinade the pork chops were sitting in. Do not use it for basting or to make the sauce. You can get seriously sick by consuming marinade that has been sitting in raw meat. This is why we reserved some of the orange marinade to make a sauce.

The USDS recommends cooking your pork chops to an internal temperature of 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest. I always recommend using a well-calibrated meat thermometer to ensure you are not overcooking or under cooking your meat.

🥣 How do I make Grilled Pork Chops with Orange Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Pour about a cup into a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade for the sauce.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long handled tongs, remove pork chops from the bag and grill the chops, covered, over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160ºF.
Meanwhile in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with the pork chops.
