EASY MARINATED PORK CHOPS

 This is an easy recipe.  You know when something smells awesome  cooking on the grill, it is going to be delicious!   This marinade will will make your pork chops extra juicy, full of flavor and delicious.  Made with just a few ingredients you should already have at home!  

 I found this recipe at Miss In The Kitchen.  She includes the instructions for baking these pork chops, too.  She recommends serving with creamy cucumber salad, coleslaw or potato au gratin.  I served mine with a simple pasta in a cheesy sauce.

This recipe is for 6 porkchops but since it is jut me and the hubby, I cut it down for 2 porkchops.

First, some tips:

• FREEZER METHOD: Freeze uncooked pork in bag with marinade. To use, completely thaw in refrigerator. Grill as directed.
• The soy sauce in this recipe acts as a brine, which injects the pork with tons of flavor and makes it juicy. It's way better than your basic salt and water brine because it also brings a flavor to your marinade.
• After a hour the pork chops will already benefit from the marinating. I prefer to let them marinate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours to get the most out of the marinade!

• After five days you want to discard the pork chops if they are in the marinade that long. This is due to food safety concerns.
• Research shows that pork can be consumed safely when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degree F and followed by a three minute rest time. This yields a finished product that is pinker in color than home cooks were used to, but no worries it's totally safe!
