Recipe Tips

  • Hot Grill – Make sure to grill on a medium high heat and clean grill. This prevents the meat from sticking and giving you those beautiful grill marks.
  • Maple Glaze – Prepare the glaze in a saucepan and heat to a boil. This allows for the glaze to thicken. Remove from heat after simmer glaze.
  • Grilling Pork Chops –We recommend giving the pork chops a nice sear and grilling over direct heat. Then lower the heat and grill over indirect heat. This allows the pork chops to be tender and juicy.
  • Serving – These pork chops are delicious served with these Grilled Pork Chop Side Dishes.

Variation Ideas

  • Pork Chops – We like using bone-in pork chops, but you can also make this recipe with boneless pork chops.
  • Change the Sauce – If you want a hint of sweetness add in brown sugar to the ingredients.
  • Balsamic Vinegar – We love marinating the pork chops in a balsamic vinegar. You can also add in this vinegar to the maple glaze.
  • Serving – These pork chops would be delicious to serve with green beans, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob.

How Can I Tell if Pork Chops are Cooked

The pork chops are done when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. When cooking meats it is important to use a meat thermometer to check the pork chops temperature.

This is the best method instead of slicing into the pork chops.

FAQs

Can I Bake Pork Chops Instead of Grilling them?

Yes, this is a great pork chop recipe to bake. Place in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 8-10 minutes, then flip pork chops and continue cooking for additional 8 minutes. Top the pork chops with glaze and continue baking for about 3 minutes. For additional tips, see Baked Bone-In Pork Chops.

How to Keep Pork Chops from Drying Out

Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that you do not overcook pork chops which will prevent the pork chops from drying out. Allowing the pork chops to rest after grilling locks in the moisture for them most juiciest pork chops.

How to Store Leftover Pork Chops

Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat the leftovers in a large skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium low heat or in the microwave.

Can I Freeze Pork Chops?

Yes, once the pork chops have cooled, wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge when ready to serve.
