4 boneless pork chops, 1-in. thick |
1 can (12 oz.) beer |
3 Tbsp. honey |
1 Tbsp. hot habanero pepper sauce |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 bay leaf |
Directions:
1. For marinade, in a small saucepan combine beer, honey, pepper sauce, garlic and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 min. Remove and discard bay leaf. Place chops in a 1 gallon self-sealing plastic bag; pour marinade over chops, seal bag and refrigerate for 2 hr.
2. Drain chops, discarding marinade. Place chops on a kettle-style grill directly over medium-hot coals, lower grill hood and grill chops for 4-5 min. Turn chops and grill for 4-5 min. more or until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145°F, followed by a 3-min. rest time.
