Apply olive oil to the outsides of the pork loin chops.

Prepare honey garlic sauce (1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup honey, 5 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp minced ginger) and let cool to room temperature.

Set up the grill for indirect cooking around medium to medium-high heat and preheat the grill grates for 3-5 minutes.

Place pork loin chops on the grill grates and sear each side for a total of 3 minutes per side, rotating halfway through.

After about 6 minutes, move the grilled pork chops to the indirect zone and brush honey garlic sauce onto both sides of the chops.

Close the lid and continue cooking on the indirect side until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 140-145F.

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
