Use Your Broiler

Heat broiler. Broil chops, 6 inches from heat, on foil-covered broiler pan 5 to 7 min. on each side or until done (145°F), brushing with remaining sauce for the last 5 min. Remove from broiler; cover. Let stand 3 min.

Substitute

Prepare using BULL'S-EYE Original Barbecue Sauce.

Made these chops last night for dinner. The sauce was good but didn't leave me with that Wow feeling. A bit on the sweet side for my taste. Now On to more savory flavors :)

This was just okay. Not very flavorful and will not make it into my regular rotation. I try a lot of marinades and this one was just not memorable.

I loved this recipe! Next time I may keep some jalapeño seeds in the mix for more spice! :)

Very good! A new flavor favorite for pork chops. Definately reserve some sauce for later...we used the George Foreman grill and the sauce came off!

Great combination of flavors! You can adjust the heat to your liking. I doubled the recipe and used a half of a habanero pepper and it was just right. Huge hit with the hubby.

This was shown to be "diabetic friendly," however, the first ingredient in Kraft original BBQ sauce is High Fructose Corn Syrup. That combined with the orange juice does not make for a "diebetic friendly" recipe. The Bull's-Eye option is much better but the orange juice is still not a good idea.

This was a very tasty recipe! My husband and 3 yr old loved it. I used jalapenos out of a jar instead of a fresh one and it gave it some nice heat. I will definitely make this again!
