Barbecue Pork Chops Tips
How do you keep pork chops from drying out?
The best way to keep pork chops from drying out is to keep a close eye on the internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to test the pork for doneness—you’re looking for an internal temperature of 145° for maximum juiciness.
Brining pork chops before cooking them is another way to improve moisture retention.
Can you use bone-in pork chops?
Although we use boneless pork chops for this recipe, you can absolutely use bone-in pork chops instead. Boneless pork chops cook quickly (4 to 5 minutes per side), making them our go-to choice for
easy pork chop recipes. While cooking time varies for bone-in chops depending on their thickness, most bone-in pork chops are finished in approximately 8 to 10 minutes per side. Using an instant-read thermometer is the best way to know—not guess—when the pork is finished.

What do you serve with barbecue pork chops?
