How long to grill bone in pork chops?

Bone in pork chops take about 20 minutes total to grill. They grill on direct heat for 2 minutes per side.

Then you turn the grill heat down they grill on indirect heat. This takes another 10 to 15 minutes once the meat is moved to the other side of the grill.

How do you grill pork chops without drying them out?

I recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure you are not overcooking the pork. This instant read meat thermometer is what I use and it is so handy. I use it frequently to ensure the meat is cooked properly.

What temperature should pork be cooked to?

Pork needs to have an internal temperature of 165 degrees. For the most accurate reading, insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop.

Make sure you always do this in the thickest part of the meat. It is important for accuracy.

How to store leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days. It is delicious reheated and makes a great lunch or dinner.

We love to make a stir fry with the meat to enjoy for another meal. Simply cut the meat off the bone and use the pieces in the stir fry.

It is so easy and your family will think you cooked an entirely new meal. The pork chops are also good with salad and baked potato for lunch the next day.

Tips for grilled pork chops:

• The meat needs to be room temperature before placing on the grill. This ensures even cooking. Otherwise, the outside will be overcooked while the inside is not fully cooked.
• Thick cut, bone in pork chops withstand grill heat the best. Try to use this type to ensure they do not get dry. The bone helps to keep the meat moist.
• Always use a meat thermometer to know the meat is cooked. You do not want to overcook the pork or they will be dry and tough.
• Don’t omit the salt in the dry rub. Salt helps to prevent the meat from drying out. It also tenderizes the meat and helps the pork chops retain water. This in turn results in perfect pork chops.
• Allow the pork chops 5 to 10 minutes to rest before serving. This will keep all the juices inside and make it even more moist and delicious.
• Meat will continue to cook after you take it off the grill during the resting period. Some people suggest taking it off the grill once it reaches 135 because it will continue to cook and reach 145 while resting.
