Delicious grilled pork chops are soaked in a flavorful marinade and so easy to make! Marinated pork chops are inexpensive, juicy, and full of citrus flavor. February is Heart Health Month and we are trying to eat a little healthier, workout more, and making lighter dishes. A clinical study showed Mazola® Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com.

Mazola Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy* choice for your family. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health. It has such a wide-variety of uses include baking, grilling, sautéing, stir frying, or mixing up a marinade or dressing. Try using corn oil to make a homemade balsamic dressing for my Harvest Chicken Salad or Strawberry Blueberry Salad. For some more grilling recipes be sure and try Grilled Chicken Kebabs, Grilled Salmon, and Citrus Marinated Chicken Thighs.

You’re going to love this easy pork marinade for grilling. This delicious marinade for pork chops is easy and so flavorful with orange and garlic! I’ve created this easy pork marinade with Mazola® Corn Oil for these delicious Honey Orange Garlic Pork Chops.

I love grilling outside! Besides saving me from having to clean up the stove, grilling gives such wonderful flavors to food. Mazola has a smoke point higher than most cooking oils at 450°F and performs well in a variety of cooking applications. Many home cooks may not realize that all cooking oils have a smoke point that, once exceeded, not only negatively affect the food’s flavor and nutritional value. Be sure and try my Sweet Chili Chicken recipe with Mazola corn oil!

To lighten up my recipe, I used Mazola Corn Oil in place of olive oil and I’m grilling, rather than pan frying.

How to make Grilled Pork Chops:

Place all of the marinade ingredients into a large zip-style bag and push around the outside of the bag with your fingers. Place the pork chops into the marinade and seal the bag. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

Grill pork chops on a preheated grill for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. If you love your pork medium rare, you should cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees (followed by a three-minute rest) For safe cooking temperatures of pork, visit here.

Put the leftover marinade in a small saucepan, over medium heat with 1 heaping tablespoon of orange marmalade or apricot jam. Use a whisk to incorporate the marmalade or jam and bring to a boil to thicken. Spoon over the grilled pork chops. Enjoy immediately with seasonal vegetables or even over a green salad.
