  2. Place pork chops into a shallow glass dish. Pour remaining marinade over chops, then cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place the grate 4 to 5 inches above the heat source.

  4. Remove pork chops from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

  5. Arrange chops on the preheated grill, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
