Ingredients You Need to Make Our Perfectly Juicy Grilled Pork Chops:
- Reduced-sodium soy sauce
- Vegetable oil
- Honey (or brown sugar)
- Dijon mustard
- Garlic cloves
- Onion powder
- Red pepper flakes
- Pork chops
How To Make Our Perfectly Juicy Grilled Pork Chops:
First, in a small bowl mix together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, onion powder, and as much red pepper as you think you can handle (or want, but we generally do ½ teaspoon) to great the marinade for the pork chops.
Once you have that all mixed up, place the pork chops in a gallon-sized freezer bag and then pour the marinade over top.
Give it a good shake to make sure all of the pork chops are covered, and then place the bag in the fridge to let the marinade do the heavy lifting.
Allow the pork chops to marinade for at least 2 hour in the fridge but the longer it marinades the more flavor and tender the pork chops will be. You can let it marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge.
When you are ready to start making this juicy grilled pork chop recipe, preheat the grill or grill pan for the stove top to medium heat.
Once the grill or pan is hot, remove the pork chops from the bag and place them on the grill, discarding the bag with the remaining marinade.
Allow the pork chops to cook for 6-8 minutes or until the outside has been nicely seared on each side and then internal temperature is at least 145 degrees.
NOTE: The cook time will depend on your grill and how thick the pork chops are, so make sure to at least meet the minimum temperature of 145 degrees to avoid undercooked pork.
When your pork has been cooked all the way through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes, then serve it with your favorite sides, and enjoy your perfectly grilled pork chops.

I need these easy meals!How Long to Cook Juicy Grilled Pork Chops on the Grill:
When you cook pork chops on the grill, they will only take 8-12 minutes total to cook. During that cook time, turn once (about half way through cooking time). You will know that they are done when the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145 degrees and they are barely pink in the middle.
Before serving, let the pork chops “rest” by removing them from the grill and placing them on a plate and then covering them in foil. This will help the juices set and give you the perfect pork chop!
How to Grill Boneless Pork Chops
Boneless pork chops will cook faster than bone-in pork chops, so plan on them taking 6-8 minutes to cook on the grill, turning once about half way through cooking time. Boneless pork chops tend to dry out, so keep an eye on the internal temperature and make sure to pull them off the grill as soon as they reach 145 degrees internally.
Like bone-in pork chops, let the pork chops “rest” by removing them from the grill and placing them on a plate and then covering them in foil. This will help the juices set and give you the juiciest pork chop.
How Long Do You BBQ Pork Chops
When you want to BBQ pork chops you will want to make sure the grill has been preheated to medium so you can get a nice sear on the outside of the pork, this will lock in the flavor of the pork chop.
As long as your grill is at a medium temperature, you should only have to cook the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side and then they will be perfect and ready to eat. However, you do want to make sure that they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
By using a meat thermometer, you can be sure to cook your pork to a safe temperature, without over cooking it. One of the hardest parts about cooking pork is that it can turn dry and tough very quickly.
If you are not sure how to use a meat thermometer, cooking light gives great instructions on how to check the internal temperature for pork with a thermometer.
