What Cut Of Pork Chop Is Best For Grilling?
Bone in pork chops are the best for grilling. You want to purchase a pork chop that is at least 1-inch thick to use on the grill. If you don’t see any out for purchase, you should ask at the meat counter and they can cut them for you. Ask for a 1 1/2 to 2 inch bone-in center cut rib chop or loin chop.
How Do You Make Grilled Pork Chops?

Tips For Making Grilled Pork Chops
- Marinate: After applying the dry rub. Cover the chops and place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Don’t Over Cook: When grilling use a meat thermometer to help you keep an eye on the internal temperature. Overcooking will dry out the meat.
