Orange-Ginger Grilled Pork Chops

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"If you are planning to make more than 4 chops, then double the marinade/sauce ingredients. Plan ahead the chops need to marinade for a minimum of 6 hours or up to 24 hours --- this is very good!"

This recipe made a VERY moist and tender pork chop. I only wished that they had more of the marinade flavor and THEN I read the recipe again and realized I neglected to glaze them while they cooked. I am sure adding this step will increase the flavor next time ( and there will be a next time ). I also successfully froze my pork chops in the marinade.

Oh yummy, yummy, yum! We all loved it, Kitten! This is now a weekly request and is my new favorite for pork chops!

Thanks for another great recipe! I left out the sherry and green onions, as I didn't have any. Used chicken broth in place of the sherry. My kids wouldn't eat it (too spicy), but we loved it. Plan to make this again.

This is great ! You need to try it if you enjoy Pork Chops on the grill. I doubled the sauce right from the start. I only used half of the sherry and made up the difference with water. I also toned down the hot pepper a little. I marinated the chops for 24 hours. We grilled 6 chops and in less than one day from the original meal they were all gone. There are just two of us ! Wonderful, Thanks.
