I was a little nervous about the whole coffee-Molasses thing, but I tried it and WOW am I glad I did. My Husband and I BOTH love this recipe so much it is one of the staple foods in our "yummy things we like to eat" catogory. The only thing is we double the marinade since we like it so much. Oh Yum!!

I consider my self a pretty good cook and use LOTS of recipes from this site. The glaze was HORRIBLE by itslef but OK on the chops. I followed to a T and marinated for 6+ hours. Although the chops were moist, not GREAT!

Tried this last night and was very pleased. Substituted dry thyme for fresh but otherwise no changes. Marinated for 2.5 hours and took it out of the fridge for the last 30 minutes. Divided the grill into half with charcoal the other half empty. Placed chops over the coals long enough to get a good set of grill marks, then moved to the side with no charcoal to continue cooking with indirect heat. Pulled them when temp hit about 143-145 degrees. Next time I might pull at 140 and let the carry over cooking finish them. During this time and the resting period the marinade was reducing. It was excellent with no one flavor dominating the party. I suspect that those that had problems did something wrong. We will definitely be making this again, perhaps next time with chicken.

This was a big hit in our house! My husband's particular about pork chops (prefers the Southern smothered kind and doesn't care for recipes with apple cider vinegar (I didn't tell him it was in this one. But he gave this a rave review, so into the go-to weeknight recipe pile it goes!

WOW this was great. Truly the naysayers must have screwed something up. My father in law said they were the best pork chops he ever ate.

OMG - I made these about a month or so ago and we loved them - recommended the recipe to friends (who I might add are quite 'fussy' and they loved them! On my way to the kitchen now to prepare for tomorrow at my mother's.

This was very good. The same glaze recipe is outstanding on grilled bone-in chicken breasts.

Sorry Alton, I usually love your recipes but this one was so weird tasting, and the flavors did not go together. Love your chicken fried steak and gravy recipe and also your biscuits!

I was hesitant about this recipe due to the molasses and coffee but much to my surprise these chops were extremly moist and tasty. I let marinate overnight and then put on the gril. I didn't bast the chops anymore after grilling and we enjoyed them. We added roasted veggies and rice and it was a good combination.
