Bone in and Boneless Pork Chops
This grilled pork chop recipe calls for bone-in pork chops simply because they cook better on the grill. Boneless pork chops tend to dry out faster…and no one likes dry pork!
If you don’t want to use bone-in pork, feel free to use boneless pork chops. Just make sure you check the pork ahead of time with a meat thermometer to make sure you don’t overcook it!
How long does it take to grill pork chops
Grilled pork chops are amazing because it’s so quick! However, the time to grill the pork chops will vary depending on the thickness and whether you are using bone-in or boneless.
I prefer to use 1.5 inch thick bone-in pork chops. I cooked them on medium-high heat for 9-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
The key is Check out the pork early! You can always cook more, but once you overcook it, there is no going back.
What is the correct cooking temperature for pork chops?
We recommend following USDA guidelines and cooking these pork chops to 145ºF, and then let them rest. While they are resting, their temperature will continue to climb slightly. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat.
Now, over the years, the USDA has changed the recommended cooking temperature for pork. Not long ago, it was suggested that pork be treated like chicken and cooked to 165ºF to kill any potentially harmful bacteria. However, bacteria were found to be killed at 140ºF, so the recommended cooking temperature was reduced to 145ºF and rested for 3 minutes.
I do not recommend cooking above 145ºF. Overcooked pork was dry and tough!
How do you grill pork chops without drying them out?
Pork chops are lean meat, which means they dry out faster. However, there are things you can do to prevent this from happening!
Here are some of my best tips for cooking pork chops on the grill No Dry them!
- Use bone-in pork. Bone-in pork is juicier than boneless pork.
- pickled. Not only does marinating add flavor, it also breaks down the muscle fibers in the meat, creating a juicier, more tender texture. Believe me. Marinated pork chops grilled to perfection simply can’t be beat!
- Do not overcook. Once the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145ºF, remove them from the grill.
- Let them rest. Let the cooked pork rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice thinly. If you cut too fast, the moisture will be lost and your pork will dry out.
Can these be made without a grill?
completely! While we love the taste of pork chops on the grill, this dish is still delicious in a griddle or regular skillet, if that’s all you have. Do what works for you! Note that you may need to turn on your electric fan if cooking on the stovetop.
