Easy BBQ Glaze Recipe for Grilled Boneless Pork Chops

Some nights call for a smoker session, and some nights call for pork chops on the table in twelve minutes flat. This easy BBQ glaze recipe is built for the second kind of night, using thin boneless chops that cook fast without sacrificing flavor.

Why Boneless Chops Work for Speed

Thin-cut boneless chops, around half an inch thick, cook through in just a few minutes per side. That speed is exactly what makes this an easy BBQ glaze recipe rather than a project, since there's no long brine or overnight marinade required.

The 12-Minute Method

1. Season 4 boneless pork chops with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
2. Preheat a grill or cast iron pan to medium-high heat.
3. Sear chops 3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
4. Brush both sides with warmed Jalapeño Apple Spread and cook 1 more minute per side to set the glaze.
5. For a spicier version, use Red Hot Spread on half the batch.
6. Pull chops at 145°F internal and rest 3 minutes before serving.

What Makes This an Easy BBQ Glaze Recipe Worth Repeating

The whole method hinges on one jar of pepper jelly doing double duty as a marinade base and a finishing glaze. There's no simmering a sauce on the stove first, which is what keeps this an easy BBQ glaze recipe instead of a weekend project.

Indoor Option

No grill? A hot cast iron skillet on the stovetop gets you the same sear and the same glaze result, making this an easy BBQ glaze recipe you can lean on year-round, rain or shine.
