Recipe Tips

  • Reserve some of the marinade before adding it to the pork chops to serve on the side.
  • The marinating process can be done in about 6 hours, but for the best flavor and most tender chops, I recommend letting them sit overnight.
  • If you have leftover hoisin pork chops, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftover pork chops in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat.

Hoisin Glazed Pork Chops FAQ's

Can I use boneless pork chops?

Yes, but they'll cook a bit faster than bone-in pork chops, so be sure to keep an eye on them.

What does hoisin sauce taste like?

This Chinese sauce combines rich, sweet, and savory notes and is sometimes referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce." It contains notes of cinnamon and star anise paired with garlic, vinegar, and a salty umami base for lots of complex flavors.

Can grilled pork chops be cooked indoors?

Absolutely! You can cook these hoisin pork chops on a cast-iron grill pan to get the same grill mark effect, or you could cook them in any heavy-bottomed skillet.

How do I keep pork chops from drying out?

Pork is fairly lean and easy to overcook, so be sure to keep an eye on it and check for an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. It's also crucial to let the pork rest after cooking so all of the juices can distribute throughout the meat and don't just leak out when you slice into it.

  1. You can bake them then broil them at the last minute with the glaze to get some char. You can also air fry them if you have an air fryer.

  2. Can I possibly cook these inside pan or oven they look delicious I have no access to to a grill
