Mike Ditka's Official Tailgater's Grilled Pork Chops

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Plan ahead these need to marinade for at least 12 hours but 24 hours is even better, I also throw in some chopped green onions, but that is optional, you will *love* this recipe! :)

Amazing chops, absolutely delicious! I used 1 inch thick bone-in chops and marinated the full 24 hours. Grilled direct on a medium heat for 20 minutes and ended up with moist and flavorful meat. Just loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

great chops! marinated the chops in a zip-lock and found i needed about half the amount. saved the other half to baste the chops while they were cooking. delicious, thanks so much for posting. p.s. used low-sodium soy sauce, served chops with long grain and wild rice.

You've done it again! Halved the recipe. Marinated for close to 24 hours. It was really good! I've been looking for a grilled pork chop recipe, and I have a feeling this is it. I can't imagine it being any better. Thanks!
