# Steps:
01 -
Slice each pork chop lengthwise into four even strips, yielding a total of sixteen strips.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together Coca-Cola, brown sugar, onion, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sriracha until well combined.
03 -
Reserve 25% of the marinade in the refrigerator for basting. Add pork strips to the remaining marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
04 -
Thread 2 to 4 pork strips lengthwise onto each skewer, distributing the meat evenly.
05 -
Preheat grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
06 -
Place pork skewers on the hot grill and close the lid. Grill, turning every 3 to 4 minutes and basting with reserved marinade, until pork is cooked through and an internal temperature of 71°C is reached. Adjust positioning if needed for uniform cooking.
07 -
Remove pork skewers from the grill. Serve hot with your preferred side dishes.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
For best flavor, marinate the pork overnight. Always reserve part of the marinade separately for basting to avoid cross-contamination.
