This recipe came from one of those evenings when I needed something quick but satisfying. I had pork chops, a bottle of honey, and a hot grill. I mixed up a quick glaze and hoped for the best. The result was golden, juicy, and packed with flavor. Now it’s one of our go-to dinners whenever grilling season hits.
