Marinated and Grilled Pork Chops

The secret to grilling boneless pork chops is an easy 2 step process. Follow these simple guidelines and never have dry pork chops again!

First, marinate, marinate, marinate. Shoot for 6-8 hours. Thirty minutes before grilling time won’t do it.

Second, cooking time for boneless pork chops is super short. 8-10 minutes maximum! This all depends on your particular grill, how hot it heats, how far the grates are from heat source etc. etc. I have a very hot grill, even on medium heat. I generally cook boneless pork chops about 4-5 minutes on one side and then 3-4 on the other side. It seems impossible to believe that you can cook meat in such a short time, but for boneless pork chops that’s the way to go so you don’t get dried out pieces of leather.
