Grilling Tips
- Take the thin-cut pork chops out of the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before grilling them. When the meat is at room temperature, it will be ready to cook.
- Use an instant-read thermometer for best results on cooking pork chops. You will want the internal temperature to reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the pork chops directly on the grill grate at medium-high heat over direct heat with the lid closed. They will cook quickly. You will want to watch the time.
- Flip the pork chops after about 4 to 5 minutes on direct heat. Cook on the other side for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After grilling, let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes to let the juices soak in before cutting into the meat. This will enhance the tenderness of the pork chop.
