How To Make Grilled Pork Chops
- First, rub your pork chops with garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow this divine mixture to marinade for at least fifteen minutes.
- Prepare your grill. When it’s heated to a medium-high temperature, lay your pork chops on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until your chops hit an internal temperature of 145��F. Remember, patience is key, don’t flip prematurely!
- Once cooked, allow the chops to rest. This holds in the juices and makes the chops oh-so tender. Now, serve ���em hot, juicy, and snug!
Tips For The Best Results
- Choose pork chops that are 1 inch thick. Too thin, and they may dry out. Too thick, and they may not cook evenly.
- Try your best to not overcook. Pork is okay to eat slightly pink in the middle!
Storage Tips
- Store the cooled pork chops in an airtight container. They should last about 4 days in the fridge.
- For longer storage, these chops can be frozen for up to 3 months.
