METHOD
Why It Works
Searing first gives the chops color before the glaze goes sticky. A quick honey-garlic reduction coats every bite without extra dishes.
Quick Fixes
Glaze too thin: simmer an extra minute to thicken.
Too sweet: add a squeeze of lemon or splash of vinegar.

Avo's Tip
Lower the heat before the honey goes in so the glaze gets sticky, not scorched.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
• Bone-in or boneless?
Either works; boneless cook faster under the glaze.
• Can I add heat?
Yes. A pinch of red pepper flakes balances the sweetness.
• What should I serve with it?
Rice or steamed vegetables soak up the glaze.
