    Method
    1. Season the pork loin evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
    2. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook the pork for 3–4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
    3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté the garlic, red onion, and chili pepper (if using) for 1–2 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
    4. Add the Stingin' Hot Honey and cider vinegar. Whisk continuously and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture reduces to a glossy, syrup-like glaze.
    5. Season the glaze with a light pinch of salt and remove from the heat.
    6. Arrange the pork on a serving platter and generously spoon the hot honey glaze over top.
    7. Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
