Grilled Pork Chops
Juicy, perfectly grilled pork chops with endless flavor possibilities—swap your marinade, glaze, and sides to create everything from classic herb-rubbed to Asian-inspired or sweet-spiced variations.
Ingredients
Method
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and bring them to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Place pork chops in the marinade, turning to coat both sides evenly. Let sit for 15–30 minutes at room temperature (or up to 8 hours refrigerated for deeper flavor).
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove pork chops from marinade, shaking off excess. Reserve any remaining marinade for basting if desired.
Place pork chops on the hot grill and cook for 5–6 minutes per side without moving them, until golden char marks form and internal temperature reaches 145°F (measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part).
Transfer grilled chops to a clean plate and let rest for 3–5 minutes to retain juices.
Serve hot with your choice of sides. Optional: drizzle with any reserved marinade or a complementary glaze (e.g., honey-mustard or teriyaki-glaze).
