These pork chops make a quick company dish. Our family enjoys them on the grill, as the summer weather in our part of the country is hot and muggy. In the wintertime, they're wonderful prepared in the broiler. —Blanche Babinski, Minto, North Dakota

Excellent recipe! The hubby absolutely loved it. I added some leftover chopped onions to the marinade. Very tasty! Definitely a keeper. Thanks!

The best pork chops I've ever made. The marinade was so flavorful for just being 5 ingredients and the chops were extremely tender. I will be making these over and over again!

These pork chops were so tasty and tender! I like that there is no oil in the marinade. I used Mr. Yoshida's teriyaki sauce instead of the soy sauce for more flavor, and added white pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, 4 cloves of garlic, fresh gingerroot, and I tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. I served the chops with vegetable lo mein and egg rolls. Keeper marinade-thank you for sharing!
