- In a large bowl, stir orange peel and juice with oil, sugar, curry and salt until well mixed.

- When ready to barbecue, lightly oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high.
- Remove chops from marinade.
- Grill with lid closed 4 minutes.
- Brush tops of chops with marinade, then discard remaining marinade.
