Marinate the Pork Chops
In a bowl, combine coconut milk, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add pork chops and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
For best flavor, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure it's clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
A well-preheated grill gives better sear marks.Grill the Pork Chops
Remove pork chops from marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Avoid flipping too often to get nice grill marks.Baste with Marinade
During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the pork chops with the leftover marinade for extra flavor.
Do not baste too early to avoid flare-ups.Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier.
