Here's the recipe I mentioned in today's "What for dinner?" thread, and as I said there, it's probably one of the best grilled pork chop recipes I've tried in a very long time. I brushed both sides of my chops with the thick "marinade" mixture and let them rest in the fridge for about an hour before broiling. Then, I broiled the first side for about 5 minutes; the second side for about 8. By that time, they were thoroughly cooked, but still juicy, and the edges were crispy. Yum! This one's going in my "keeper" file. I hope you'll give it a try, too. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We had this last night for dinner and they were absolutely wonderful. I didn't know what to serve with it so I went with some fried rice which worked well. We tailgate every Sat. night in the summer (at the race track) and I know this will be a hit.
