Red pepper flakes or chili sauce (for heat)
Sliced onions (for extra sweetness and texture)
A splash of sesame oil (for depth)
Hoisin sauce or orange juice (for an Asian-inspired twist)
Tips for Success
Sear first for deeper flavor and better color.
Use bone-in, thick-cut chops to prevent drying out.
Cook on low for best tenderness—this is key for that fall-apart texture.
Don’t skip thickening the sauce—it creates that signature glossy finish.
Taste the sauce before cooking and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed.
Instructions
Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Optionally sear in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side.
Place pork chops in the slow cooker in a mostly single layer.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and vinegar.
Pour the sauce over the pork chops, coating evenly.
Cover and cook on Low for 4–6 hours or High for 2–3 hours until tender.
Remove pork chops and keep warm.
Stir in cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook on High for 10–20 minutes until thickened.
Return pork chops to the sauce, spoon over generously, and let rest before serving.
Description
These pork chops are incredibly tender and juicy, practically falling off the bone. The sauce is thick, sticky, and glossy with a deep reddish-brown color—rich in flavor with notes of sweetness from honey, saltiness from soy, and aromatic depth from garlic and ginger.
