Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:35 minutes
Marinade Time:6 hours
Total Time:6 hours 50 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Grill Pan (or outdoor grill!)

Ingredients

  • 1 Can Frozen Lemonade concentrate
  • 1 28-oz Bottle of BBQ Sauce
  • 2 Pounds Pork Loin or pork chops roughly 2 pounds
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • This could be done on an indoor grill and finished in the oven or on the outdoor grill entirely. I did the indoor oven version!
  • Cut pork loin into chops, the thickness of your choice and season with salt and pepper.

  • Combine melted lemonade concentrate with the bottle of bbq sauce and marinade the pork chops in the sauce for 4-12 hours.

  • When you are ready to cook, boil the sauce on the stove to thicken it up (and to kill any germs from the raw pork) and use this as your basting/cooking sauce. I let mine simmer for about 20-30 minutes. If you aren't comfortable with just cooking the sauce, feel free to just double your sauce ingredients and have a separate pan that's never touched the uncooked pork. You'll still want to simmer it and let it thicken up on the stove for a good while!
  • Place chops on preheated grill pan on medium-high heat and let sit for 3 minutes. Flip to the other side and let cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Place chops in a baking dish, top with a few tablespoons of the bbq sauce on each chop, and finish cooking in the oven. My pork chops were thick and took about 15 more minutes in the oven.
  • Additionally, at the end of cooking, I like to turn the broiler on to get the sauce all kinds of ooey and gooey and sticky and delicious!
  • I pull the chops out of the oven and cover the dish with aluminum foil for a few minutes to let the meat rest and the juices redistribute before I cut the pork and serve it.
