These were delicious! I would have given it 5 stars if the sauce were thicker. Just rating these as written.

Easy to prepare with ingredients already found in my kitchen. There was plenty of sauce so you could easily cook more chops. The spicy flavor was perfect for me, but my husband added some hot sauce to kick up the heat. I will definitely make it again.

This was very good. We added extra pepper flakes for even more zip. The sauce was good over rice also.
