Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 bone-in pork chops in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove pork chops from marinade, reserving the marinade.
Step 4: Grill pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and the glaze is caramelized with grill marks.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
