Best Grilled Pork ChopsI love grilling pork chops. They’re a simple, yet satisfying dinner that everyone can enjoy. This recipe coats the pork chop in my Signature Sweet Rub. It’s a brown sugar-based dry rub that adds a sweet and savory flavor to the chop. You can make this from scratch, or to save some time, we sell Sweet Rub from the Hey Grill Hey Store. These chops also taste amazing with my Best Pork Chops Seasoning. You can even season half with one rub and half with the other to see which one you prefer best. Grilling Pork ChopsYou’ll see many various methods for grilling pork chops online. Some claim that high heat, hot and fast is the only way to go. Others recommend cooking over indirect heat the whole time. I like a mixture of both to end up with incredibly juicy pork and a nicely caramelized and crunchy exterior. When it comes to lean cuts like pork chops, pork tenderloin, etc., I like to use two-zone cooking on my grill. If you’re using a charcoal grill, simply stack more briquettes on one side to create a hot spot and less on the other. If you’re cooking on a gas grill, turn one burner on medium-high and one on low. For indirect grills like my pellet grill, find out where your hot and cooler spots are on your grill. I use the hot zone for the initial sear on each side of my chops. This caramelizes the sugar in the rub and seals in all of the juices. Then I move the meat over to the less hot side of the grill and let it cook through.

Feeling ready to serve up this delicious food for dinner? I can guarantee your family and guests will be mighty impressed. How Long to Grill Pork ChopsBoneless or bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick will cook for 8-10 minutes. If you are grilling extremely thick chops, the bone will start to affect the timing of your cook. 1 1/2 inch thick boneless pork chops typically cook through in 14-18 minutes and bone-in chops at that thickness can take up to 20 minutes or more. Although time is a nice guideline for a recipe, the absolute most important factor when cooking pork chops on the grill is to pay attention to internal temperature. Pork is perfectly cooked through, juicy, and safe to eat at 145 degrees F. Get yourself a good instant-read thermometer to avoid over or undercooking your grilled pork chops. I recommend ThermoWorks products. They’ve always produced a fast and reliable result. Tips for Making Grilled Pork ChopsPork chops are pretty straightforward to cook on the grill, but I have a few tips for you that will help ensure your chops come off the grill perfectly cooked and totally juicy.
