Sticky Garlic Pork Chops

So yummy! Just served tonight and it was really good. We didn't have fish sauce so I used Worcestershire Sauce and it was great!

I made these pork chops last night as a change from our usual grilled pork chop recipe. They were a success. My husband and I especially enjoyed the sticky sauce which was the perfect blend of sweet, salt, and heat. We aren't huge fans of this type of Asian cuisine but truly were happy with the results. I followed the recipe exactly however next time, I will add some minced fresh ginger. I served with Rice Ah Roni, a recipe also from Chef John, and some snow peas.

This was my first time making and eating a pork chop, and i am in love! I love you chef john, I wish you had a cook book! I'm making these again soon! I followed the recipe exactly except I doubled everything and blended the sauce a bit because the minced garlic wasn't minced enough for me... The sauce is heaven, the cook times were very helpful and the meat came out perfectly cooked and tender.

Instead of 1/3 cup brown sugar I used a 1/2 cup Very Good. I depend on getting my recipe from Allrecipe as well as watching YouTube TV Chef John.. I recently got married and the man I married went to culinary school so he thinks outside the box. What a challenge. So intimating . So thanks to this web site I am doing ok. PS My husband loved this recipe

This one is a keeper, as are so many from Chef John. I really liked the way the pork chops are finished after the sauce is thickened as iit is very easy to control the level of doneness using a thermometer. This makes it very easy to monitor the internal temp with a thermometer and serve the chops right when they just cooked enough. I had about half a head of garlic and ended up using the whole thing. We have never had anything with too much garlic in our house. A rubber spatula was really useful in getting most of the marinade and garlic bits off the chops before the initial frying which reduced the risk of burning the garlic which gives things a terrible taste. I bought one of those garlic smashing gizmos from Amazon that lets you break the cloves into little pellet shaped hunks. Its much easier than chopping the garlic and much easier to clean than a garlic press.

This was absolutely the bomb, I made it with Tapatio instead of Sriracha and used a little extra because I like my food spicy, but the sauce still had plenty of sweetness. Will definitely make this again!

I’ve made this twice. It’s been magnificent both times, it has entered into my recipe rotation and I love it!

These pork chops are incredible! I followed Chef John’s recipe/instructions perfectly and they had an amazing texture and flavor to them. My only critique is that I didn’t get much heat from them, so next time I’ll likely double the Sriracha and/or add some cayenne (which he does mention as being an option). I will absolutely be making this dish many, many more times to come.

Another Chef John winner! I did cut the hot sauce down to one teaspoon, but I do think I'll use the 2 next time around. That was the only variation and it came out wonderful. I thickened the sauce for 5 min but probably will add a minute next time for a bit more thickness.

Really easy to prepare and tastes so good! Will definitely be making this again. I followed this recipe for 4 pork chops (about 200gms each) and the glaze was sufficient. But greedy me loved the glaze so much; I think next time I'll have to up the measurements to make extra. Really good stuff.

The sauce was quite nice. I poured it on rice and it was very good. My husband liked it a lot. But it wasn't over the top, which is why I gave it only four stars.

These were fantastic, it will be a go-to recipe moving forward

Made this, followed as written. Huge hit, will definitely make this again. Great fan of chef John. Thank you for sharing such wonderful and delectable dishes

I did not change a thing. I just made enough for myself and I wished I had made more after I ate. I am going to make this for myself again next week. Just loved it. This was so easy. Thank you submitter.

I think I may cut the fish sauce down to one tablespoon next time. Good dinner tho. Will make again

This sauce is delicious! I also substituted worcestershire sauce for the fish sauce....if my husband saw, smelled or looked at fish sauce it would be all over! I believe you could also use white wine vinegar instead of the rice vinegar. It will be serviced again!

I had pork chops and needed a recipe. Ran across this one. I had everything but the fish sauce. I considered leaving that out, but decided to make a run for it. Delicious! Flavor of the sauce was intense which is what we need around here. Will make again.

The first taste of the sauce while it was reducing, well, let's just say chops were all I had on my plate. Will be trying this with chicken this weekend. But, will be using the oven rather than stovetop. I imagine the result will be no less spectacular than with the chops.

This is a delicious asian BBQ sauce. I made the sauce quickly in the morning and marinated the pork most of the day. The only change I made was to use boneless pork chops, so my cook time was significantly shorter. Quick, easy, and delicious, my favorite kind of dinner.

Great recipe, absolutely loved the marinade. No fish sauce so we took someone else's idea of using Worcestershire and it was great. My husband is not a fan of pork chops but asked if we could make this again. I used boneless chops that we about 1.5"thick. I would imagine this marinade could be used with seafood and chicken as well.

Very tasty. I will be trying the sauce on chicken breast next time. The pork chops were very moist and flavorful so I look forward to trying it on chicken

Flavors were amazing! I didn't have fish sauce so I substituted with Worcestershire Sauce like someone recommended.

Awesome - very flavorful. Did use small pork chops and cooked just two minutes on each side. Boiled the sticky sauce down in a separate pan. Will definitely make again.

We eat very little pork or beef, so I made this with some bone in chicken breast and thighs. To paraphrase Emeril, it was so good you could put it on a VW bumper and it would still taste good.

The best pork chops I have ever had. A couple of quantity mods but that's it. It is a little bloody ripper of a recipe. Thanks you for sharing

Incredibly good! I was surprised at how yummy these are. The marinade did not smell that tempting to me but when the cooking was finished and the marinade reduced and bubbled in the pan, no one could get enough. I only had this sliced pork chops so I was worried the flavor would be compromised. Not at all! Now I am going to try with thick chops. Everyone loved these. A big hit!

We made these pork chops a couple of days ago and they were wonderful, didn't change a thing.

Our chops were especially thick and took longer to arrive at temp (and yes, that temperature results in perfectly juicy chop). So, the sticky garlic sauce also cooked longer and got a bit "stickier" than intended - fabulous taste but more paste than sauce. The bigger chops, though, left us with enough left over for another meal so, I'm going to make more of the sticky garlic sauce to serve with the leftover chops - kinda like a "do over".

This is a dinner I would make for company .. the chops were so good ! served it with white rice and lightly sauteed mixed peppers and onions!! I will certainly do this again!!

No changes - yummy!

Very good. One of the best we have had.

If I could smear this marinade on my beard and wear it to bed I would! I’m going to make a gallon of it and use it all week. Made the pork juicy and the flavors were outstanding. Y’all gotta try it. Fantastic. Would’ve taken a picture but they were eaten too fast.

Chops were dry.

Listen to Chef John--and you can't go wrong! This recipe works heavenly with pork AND CHICKEN!! No fish sauce??? No problem--sub with Worcestershire sauce and everything's fine. I tripled the sauce ( wise call )and divided some for generous dipping!! I tried including orange zest ( and juice ) with pork--worked beautifully; lemon zest/juice is perfect with chicken.

I'm not a great person to review this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but I will say that this came out pretty good. I made them for my husband's BD and he loved them. They were juicy and easy to make. Next time I would like to try the hot sauce to give them an extra zip.

Excellent. We served it with rice and broccoli. Make extra sauce to use with your sides.

besides adding my own touches, this was and is delicious and all enjoyed it. simple to make and yet restaurant quality. on the list of meals to impress. ;)

Have you posted the rice side dish that you made in this picture. Please let me know. Thanks!

made the pork chops tonight, husband says they are the best he ever had

Delicious. I followed the recipe as written. The hot sauce I used was a sweet and spicy chili sauce. I prepped and cooked it in the Sous Vide system, set to 140 degrees, then finished it all in a pan to brown the chops. I added some corn starch to the marinade to thicken it for the sauce. Easy and delicious.

This is my family's NEW favorite dish. No leftovers on this one! Will be making it again tomorrow night.

This came out amazing.

This was delicious!! I didn't have fish sauce so I substituted it for W sauce and another teaspoon of soy sauce. I also used a variety pack of porkchops and the sauce was just enough for 5 chops. I really enjoyed the sauce and I served with white rice and mixed veggies.

This sauce is great, I want to put it on everything. The porkchops came out great too. Don't be afraid of a little pink...as Chef John says.

These are delicious, whatever you do, do NOT used boneless, they cook too fast.

This is a wonderful recipe, the sauces compliment each other very well.

This was awesome. I didn't have chops so I used a pork loin. Followed directions to a T!! So YUMMY

This was a great recipe! I sadly didn't have rice vinegar on hand so just used white vinegar but rice would have been better. We loved it so much we're gonna try it on chicken soon! The flavor was unique and it caramelized well in the pan.

I love this recipe! I've made it twice and both times it turned out great. It's easy and really actually fun to make. in the blurb introducing this recipe John referred to serving it with bok choy brown rice. which sounds great. However; after a search ALLRECIPES does not have a recipe for bok choy brown rice - - hurtful.

Made exactly as written . Super easy with excellent flavor. Will try marinade on chicken next time.

Will make again! Paired it with bok chow jasmine rice. Easy and something different!

This is by FAR the best pork chop recipe I have ever made. I used six boneless chops and doubled the sauce. The family loved it (even my “pork hating” daughter loved it). Chef John NEVER disappoints, and you never have to tweak a thing. I ALWAYS recommend watching his videos, regardless of experience as you will learn something from him. A must try. This one will stay in the rotation. Hint: do not overcook, watch his video and he will tell you why. #Delicious

This was very good. The sauce, I think, would be great on chicken wings and other meat. The pork chops were tender and moist. This was a winner in my house!

Loved, loved, loved this! And so did my family. SCORE! That's rare, LOL. I have a family of 5, so I used 5 chops. They wanted seconds, but there were none. After I marinated the chops and started heating up the marinade, I realized there just wasn’t enough sauce, so I doubled the recipe. In the beginning I used a few shakes of garlic powder instead of minced garlic, but ended up using minced garlic when I doubled it. I didn’t have fish sauce, so I added a little bit of water. I use Tabasco for the hot sauce, but you could use something else. I did have rice vinegar, but you could definitely use white or apple cider vinegar. I cooked the chops on my Cuisinart press-type grill and then transferred them to the pan with the sauce once cooked. Yum-O!

Easy to make and soooo good! I did not have fish sauce so I went with the worcestershire sauce recommendation. Seriously fantastic recipe all around. This is being added to the monthly rotation of pork chop recipes!

This was so go and pretty simple, I didn’t have rice vinegar so substituted apple vinegar and my chops were regular cut so cut cooking time to 3 min on each side, my fault they were over cooked a bit but still devoured them. Will make these regularly using thick cut chops.

THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD!! Sorry, felt all caps were necessary to express the joy my palate experienced when eating this amazing pork chop meal! It is fast, easy, and really, really good. You won't be sorry when you try it.

This is an amazingly delicious dish. Made minor adjustments to sauce proportions to suit my taste - more vinegar and more hot spice. After all, I am the boss of my sauce. Used a thermometer to prevent overcooking. Thank you for this recipe, Chef John!

We made it exactly as the recipe suggested and it came out great!

Can out just like Chef John's video. Very tasty as written, I may have put a bit more Saracha but it right on. Would recommend and definitely make it again.

This was wonderful! I will definitely make this recipe again!

I didn't add siracha, but it came out very tasty. Cook down the marinade and use if for BBQ sauce. Nice!

This is a great recipe that I will definitely make again...Didn’t change a thing!

Amazing! I didn't have fish sauce so I left it out. I will be making this again for sure!

Complete but with the famiky! One note...I doubled the batch sauce, and it didn't thicken quite the way I wanted, but it was delicious.

I could make this recipe twice a week and never get tired of it. We both love it. No changes necessary.

So yummy. I kicked up the heat a bit by adding salt, pepper & cayenne pepper to the chops before marinating.

Didn't have any fish oil and wouldn't have used it if I had it. lol. Didn't have the time to marinate. Was too hungry so it only sat for 15 minutes but I will mariate longer next time.

Excellent recipe - we have made it about 6 times now

The chops were moist and tender. I"m not a huge fan of fish sauce, so I will experiment with worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar next time. Otherwise, they were pretty good.

I'd cut back on the fish sauce. 1/4 cup is quite a bit and it stands out more than necessary

I can see this becoming a family favourite! Many layers of flavour with an added kick. Delicious.

Great way to cook pork chops and have a new taste!

This recipe came together very quickly. I didn't use hot sauce, but I substituted red pepper flake for heat. My husband and I loved it and will make it again. The sticky sauce would be good on mashed potatoes or rice, but we served the extra with asparagus and sopped it up with garlic bread.

Simple & outstanding. Would marinate longer next time

Awsome family loved them

This turned out wonderful. Have made it several times and will continue making these and many other Chef John's recipes.

Sauce was a bit sweet for me. Maybe needed less sugar and more hotsauce. Otherwise easy and will probably try again. Thanks!

This is a dinner I would make for company .. the chops were so good ! served it with white rice and lightly sauteed mixed peppers and onions!! I will certainly do this again!!

I doubled the recipes. I served asparagus and lobster cakes. The sauce was so good my husband and I went back for more and even put it on our lobster. I used meyer lemon juice. Easy to make.

Easy and delicious! A hit with the whole family!

Turned out as good as they looked. I didn't have fish sauce so used Worcestershire sauce.

My husband and I loved the results of this recipe. Really easy and lots of flavor. I substituted Worcestershire for the fish sauce. I am making the sauce again again tonight and will try it with chicken breasts.

Followed the recipe to a T. Amazing!!! Will definitely make these again!!!!

These pork chops were easy to make and tasted awesome. Just be aware the you need to marinate them 1-2 hours so plan it when you have the lead time. But cooking them was all done in the frying pan. Very simple. I love garlic so added a little extra and went easy on the hot sauce. Served them with rice and broccoli. Delicious!!! Will definitely make them again.

I don’t care for pork, but I could eat this every day!

I was surprised at how easy this was to make. I am allergic to vinegar so I used lime juice as a substitute for rice vinigear and garlic salt instead of cloves bc I was out and it turned out really well. I Accidently overcooked my pork bc I’m new at cooking but it was still really really good

Great recipe!! Didn't use the fish sauce.

This turns out very beautiful, but the flavor didn’t quite match the presentation. My husband said this was a 4/5 and I think it was about a 3.5/5. The only change we made was thin pork chops (2 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other). If you like Hawaiian BBQ you’ll probably really enjoy some of the flavor notes in this recipe. Overall, with how fast and easy it is to make I’d say it’s definitely worth trying. It’s just not one I’ll be adding to my regular rotation.

Absolutely scrumptious

Just love this. Make it as a "go to."

Easy to make! Just follow the video recommendations. I tried because the only ingredient I had to purchase was the fish sauce. This is delicious. It may be a little spicy for some. I would halve the hot sauce if you are not a fan of spice. For my tastes, this is a dinner main to put in the rotation.

Really good! Made according to the recipe except I doubled the amount of sauce (used three very thick pork loin chops). I didn't have enough brown sugar, so I subbed honey for half and used Asian chili paste (about a teaspoon) as a sub for hot sauce. Preparation was very easy and my chops turned out just like the picture. Good flavor for a cut of meat that can be rather bland and the meat was tender and moist, also hard to pull off for a lean cut of meat. Alas, too much sugar (for us) to have very often, but it's a nice change up for pork. Thank you, Chef John, for another easy, tasty recipe.

Followed the recipe step by step, no additions or substitutes, came out great!

Gosh, what more is there to say after all the other fabulous reviews. Full of flavor, easy to make, definitely making again.

Delicious and easy!!

Gosh, what more is there to say after all the other fabulous reviews. Full of flavor, easy to make, definitely making again.

I wasn't a fan of the marinade on pork chops, so I made it with both salmon and shrimp.....DELICIOUS! My hubby liked the pork chops but loved the marinade on salmon!

Great marinade.... changed nothing Thank you
