4 pork chops, 3/4 to 1-inch thick
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce

Cooking Directions:

1. Prepare medium-hot fire in kettle-style grill.
2. In small bowl stir together honey and hot pepper sauce.
3. Season chops with salt and pepper and grill over direct heat, turning and basting with honey-pepper sauce mixture, until chops are nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.
