The next day, preheat the grill to 375 degrees and set for dual zone cooking.
Place the marinated Chinese BBQ Pork on the direct side of the grill first to get a nice sear on all sides. Flip every minute to get an even cook. Next, transfer the pork to the indirect side and grill until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees.
Brush the bbq glaze over the grilling pork and continue cooking allowing the coating to caramelize.
