Make quick, flavorful pork chops coated in a sticky, spicy, and sweet Sriracha honey glaze. This recipe transforms simple pork into an exciting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust for your heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. You may need to work in batches. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
  5. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chops.
  7. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
  8. Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving immediately with extra glaze spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; resting time is important for juicy results.
  • If your honey is very thick, warm it slightly before mixing the sauce.
  • For a less spicy glaze, start with 1 tablespoon of Sriracha and taste before adding more.
