Combine oil, ground chipotle, salt, orange zest and garlic in a small bowl. Spread mixture over both sides of pork using a rubber spatula. Let stand 15-30 minutes.

Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Place chops on grill and close lid. Grill over direct heat, turning once, about 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature of pork on a meat thermometer reads between 145(medium rare) and 160(medium). During last 2 minutes, brush chops on both sides with honey. Remove from grill and let rest 3 minutes.
