1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, cornstarch, honey, whole grain mustard, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar.

-
Cover and marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Grill the pork chops for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
-
For best results, use bone-in pork chops as they tend to stay juicier.
-
If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add more cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
- Serve with your favorite grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
