Pork is one of those meats that must be cooked just-so in order to avoid serving up a dry, tasteless dinner. One way to keep boneless pork chops nice and tender is to use a marinade, and a homemade marinade with the right balance of flavors can turn a bland meat into something quite extraordinary! If you’ve ever fallen into that dry, tasteless pork chop trap, then you’ll definitely want to give this recipe for our sticky garlic pork chops a try.

The marinade makes all the difference here, and we love this combination of sweet, salty, and garlic. Garlic is a great way to add flavor, and before searing in the pan you’ll want to remove as much of the raw garlic as possible from the meat; no one likes the taste of bitter burnt garlic! And once the reserved marinade is reduced into a heavenly salty-sweet sauce, you’ll practically lick your plate clean in order to capture all of this amazing flavor.

When cooked and seasoned well, there’s really no reason why pork can’t be super delicious. We’ve all committed the dreaded dry pork chop error, much to our dismay. A good pork chop needs a little TLC, the right cooking temperature, and in this case the right marinade to really make dinner a delight. We hope you enjoy it as much as our family does!
