Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Brine the pork chops. Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices will help them retain moisture and flavor. You can brine the chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. A good marinade will help infuse the pork chops with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a citrus-based marinade, a garlic and herb marinade, or a savory barbecue sauce.
  • Grill the pork chops over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside. Cook the chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Grilled citrus and garlic pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can create pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
