How to Make Our Perfectly Juicy Grilled Pork Chops

1. 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. 
2. Once you have that all mixed up, place the pork chops in a gallon-sized freezer bag and then pour the marinade over top. 
3. 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. 
4. 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. 
5. 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. 
6. 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. 
7. 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℉ to avoid undercooked pork. 
8. 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.

Recipe Notes

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℉ 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!

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℉ 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.
