Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 4 thick cut pork chops (boneless)
- 8 large skewers
Marinade
- 1/3 cup coca-cola
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp sriracha
Instructions
- Slice the Pork: Slice each pork chop into four even strips from the short side, resulting in 16 strips from all chops.
- Prepare and Marinate: Combine coca-cola, brown sugar, finely chopped onion, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sriracha in a large bowl. Reserve about 1/4 of the marinade for basting later. Toss the pork strips in the remaining marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Skewer the Pork: Thread 2 to 4 pork strips lengthwise onto each skewer, fitting as many as possible per skewer.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates, then place the pork skewers on the grill. Close the lid and cook, turning every 3-4 minutes. Baste the skewers with the reserved marinade between turns. Continue grilling until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 160°F (71°C). Adjust timing as necessary since grill temperatures can vary.
- Serve: Remove the pork skewers from the grill and serve hot with your favorite BBQ side dishes.
Notes
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness of the pork.
- Be sure to baste the skewers regularly to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Maintain medium grill heat to avoid burning the marinade due to the sugar content.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- You can soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
