What You’ll Need
Pork Chops: Look for thicker boneless chops around ¾” that are about the same size so they cook evenly. Bone-in pork chops will work, too, and if you have thinner chops, be sure not to overcook them. (See recipe notes for suggested cooking times)
BBQ Sauce: Use your favorite flavor of BBQ sauce (I love this one) or DIY your own for tasty homemade flavor.
Honey: Honey adds a bit of sweetness and helps the chops to caramelize.
Variations
- Switch out the honey with brown sugar or maple syrup.
- Use sriracha or chile paste instead of hot sauce for an easy substitute.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or other simple seasonings like black pepper into the sauce.
- Marinate in the sauce for about 30 minutes in a zippered bag at room temperature for more infused flavor and juicy pork chops.
How to Make BBQ Pork Chops
BBQ Pork Chops on the grill are a summertime (or anytime) favorite!
- Score the sides of the pork chops so they don’t curl up as they cook. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill pork chops (recipe below), flipping occasionally. Brush with BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Remove BBQ pork chops from the grill and let rest.
Pork Chop Pro Tips
- Keep the pork tender by making sure not to overcook them (use a meat thermometer).
- Cook the pork chops to 142°F in the thickest part of the meat—once removed from the heat, they will continue to cook to 145°F.
- Pork chops can be (and should be!) a little bit pink in the center.
- Store leftover BBQ pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
