The next time you fire up the grill to cook dinner, try a grilled pork chop recipe as a change of pace from hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. To ensure a flavorful, moist result, remember to include marinating time in your plan. Pork can be safely marinated in the refrigerator for as long as five days, though 1 to 12 hours is the recommendation in most pork chop recipes.
To safely grill pork chops, the USDA recommends using a food thermometer to make sure the inner temperature reaches a safe 160 degrees; it's not uncommon for grilled pork chops to appear fully cooked when they are undercooked on the inside. Use a hot grill for most recipes -- too hot to hold your hand a few inches above the cooking grate for more than a second or two. Indoor grills, either electric or cast iron, can also be used for many of these grilled pork chop recipes.
Bourbon-Brined Pork Chops
Kitchen Daily's Bourbon-Brined Pork Chop recipe features a spiced salt and sugar brine spiked with bourbon. The meat soaks in the brine for 2 to 4 hours, infusing it with flavor and keeping it from drying out when it cooks. The pork chops are smoked over indirect heat for 20 minutes in a covered grill before they're grilled over direct heat for about 8 minutes per side.
Dijon Grilled Pork Chops
For a super-easy grilled pork chop recipe, try Dijon Grilled Pork Chops from Taste of Home. With just five ingredients -- including the meat -- this marinade of mustard, brown sugar, apple juice and Worcestershire sauce is quick to prepare. After an overnight marinade, grill, covered, to safe temperature for about 10 minutes per side.
Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops
From "The Big Book of Outdoor Cooking and Entertaining" by Cheryl and Bill Jamison, the Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops recipe features "Pork Chop Willy's Grilling Rub," a mixture of Spanish sweet paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic, onion, coarse salt, sugar and ground cayenne. Like a marinade, the rub works best when the pork chops sit coated in the seasonings for 1 to 8 hours. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning three times.
Grilled Pork Chops and Onions
One of the simpler pork chop recipes, Grilled Pork Chops and Onions from Goya Foods features their prepared bottled Mojo Chipotle, adobo seasoning and sliced onions. If you're unfamiliar with mojo, it's a Spanish/Caribbean marinade with a citrus and garlic base that is especially popular in Cuban cuisine. It's especially marvelous with pork. This simple recipe can also be made with Goya's Mojo Criollo for a dish with less heat. Grill these pork chops for 15 to 20 minutes, basting with additional mojo.
BBQ Grilled Pork Chops
Via Paula Deen's "Home Cooking" show on the Food Network, this Grilled Pork Chop recipe includes both a spice rub of paprika, sugar and onion powder and a homemade slow-simmered barbecue sauce. Marinate in both for 8 hours and grill until the center measures 160 degrees, adding more sauce before serving.
