I made a trip to my local Kroger to pick up some stuff to grill. They have a wide selection of different types of grills. I saw a kamado, gas and several different charcoal style grills. They are also stocked up with plenty of grilling utensils. I think it's impossible to have too many!! 

---

Got Sauce? Kroger does! They are stocking a wide variety of brands that each have their own individual flavors.

---

I finally made it to the pork section! Kroger has any cut you could possibly imagine. The butcher actually came out to ask if he could help me select something. He ended up cutting me some 2" thick boneless pork chops. 


While waiting on the butcher, I ran into some people that follow me on social media. They were curious what was being planned. They got the inside scoop! HA!

Anyways, here is the recipe you were looking for.

Siracha Peach Glazed Pork Chops

The Glaze

• 1C peach preserves
• 2 Tbs Siracha hot sauce
• 2 Tbs brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder  

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.

Rub

• 1/4C brown sugar
• 1Tbs black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 Tbs kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Combine all ingredients using a whisk and mix thoroughly.

Start off by selecting a thick cut pork chop. This will ensure a tender and juicy finished product.

---

Preheat your grill to 400F for direct grilling.

---

Brush the chops with extra virgin olive oil. Make sure they are covered completely. This will seal in all of the juices and will also act as a binder for the rub.

---

Dredge the chops in the rub and coat thoroughly.

---

The sugars in the rub should begin to caramelize.. 

---

Cook each chop for 4 minutes on each side or until brown.

---

Once flipped, apply the glaze. Make sure you don't forget the sides!

---

After the 8 minutes of grilling, move the pork chops to an indirect zone on your grill. With the Big Green Egg, I added the plate setter. If you are using a gas grill, move them to a side of the grill that does not have a burner lit. 

---

The National Pork Board advised that pork be cooked a minimum internal temperature of 145F. Once you have reached this temperature, remove the pork chops and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes. The rest will redistribute and of the rapidly moving juices.

Serve and enjoy!
