At least once, try this dish. You’ll enjoy it a lot. My family will only eat pork this way occasionally, and they adore it.

Reviews
Husband REALLY liked these. We decided to try it with chicken too, and that also turned out great.
I had this recipe saved and today was the day! It’s a keeper, good flavor. I upped pretty much all ingredients but the OJ concentrate, we like lots of everything, just by personal choice. I salted/peppered the chops and brushed marinade on before going into the broiler, then on the other side after flipping them. I strained the marinade after cooking just because I don’t like chunks.
we really enjoyed these with some minor tweeks. used fresh orange juice and doubled it since we don’t carry the frozen kind.. doubled the sage and halved the bbq sauce (jalapeno flavored). if i were to try to make these again i would cut down on the bbq sauce further bc we liked the parts that had more of the orange/sage flavors than the ones that seemed to pick up more of the bbq sauce.. either way.. ty for something different
Absolutely delish! Served it over coconut rice- a new fave!
This was the perfect “something different”. However the orange was too intense for me. So most likely will not repeat.
This was awesome! As i grilled i kept brushing on sauce until the chops started to crisp on the edges. The most important part of this recipe is letting the chops sit in the marinade for more than 6 hours.
Just okay.
To die for. Easy to prepare and tastes great.
Followed the recipe to a T. We did not enjoy these. I even doctored the sauce up a little bit and still did not enjoy this. I cannot figure out what I did not like- it just tasted odd.
These were great-added a little heat to it, but otherwise myself and the man were very happy with this tasty recipe!
Used all ingredients as listed except for using plain ol’ OJ out of the carton because I don’t normally use the frozen stuff. I marinated my chops overnight in a ziploc bag. Tossed the marinade out after putting the pork chops on the George Foreman. They took just a couple of minutes on the grill and turned out AMAZING. Definitely didn’t need the extra marinade for dipping sauce or anything at all. They were nice and flavorful just the way they were. Everyone happily ate them, even the picky middle child. 🙂 I’ll definitely make these again!
This was very flavorful and tasty, but I would recommend less vinegar. It overtook the flavor a bit, but it was still good.
This one disappointed us and I’m not sure why. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but maybe it was too much orange juice concentrate (I used a good brand name). It wasn’t overly sweet, but it did have a tang that wasn’t appealing. I bought two beautiful bone-in pork chops for this and even asked Hubs to go out in the freezing cold to grill them. I made the recipe as directed, but I did sub fresh rosemary for the dried. Sorry, but I guess this one just wasn’t for us.
We both really liked this. I made it exactly as the recipe called for. Next time, I will do two things differently: First, I will cut the BBQ sauce in half. To me, the BBQ flavor overpowered all of the other wonderful flavors a bit. And second, I’ll take the marinade and boil it down to make a sauce while the chops are cooking. It was delish 🙂
These are fantastic! I am not the biggest pork chop fan, but this recipe changes all that! I didn’t have the frozen juice so I just used regular orange juice. I also did not have sage but it did not matter! My husband and my son raved and ate their entire portion. This is a keeper and is defiitely going to be made frequently. I also think that this marinade might be good on chicken breast and may try that soon as well. Thank you gor such a great recipe. I will be sharing this with family members and friends!
These were really good. The orange was a nice twist on pork chops.
Very good. I did not make a sauce of the marinade because the Food Network people are horrified at the thought – too much risk.
I absolutely loved this recipe! My children did not like it though (but they don’t like anything). All I did differently was add about 1/4 cup of brown sugar and I made them in the broiler as apposed to the grill. Thank fir the keeper!!!
Not bad but not fantastic, would make again.
Very good. I marinated in the frig overnight. Great flavor with just a touch of tang. Hubby thought it was great! Will keep this as a repeat recipe!
While mixing the marinade for this recipe, I knew it had to be good…and it is! The chops have such a good flavor. This is definitely a keeper.
