What You’ll Need

Pork Chops: Look for thicker boneless chops around ¾” that are about the same size so they cook evenly. Bone-in pork chops will work, too, and if you have thinner chops, be sure not to overcook them. (See recipe notes for suggested cooking times)

BBQ Sauce: Use your favorite flavor of BBQ sauce (I love this one) or DIY your own for tasty homemade flavor.

Honey: Honey adds a bit of sweetness and helps the chops to caramelize.

Variations

Switch out the honey with brown sugar or maple syrup.
Use sriracha or chile paste instead of hot sauce for an easy substitute.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or other simple seasonings like black pepper into the sauce.
Marinate in the sauce for about 30 minutes in a zippered bag at room temperature for more infused flavor and juicy pork chops.

How to Make BBQ Pork Chops

BBQ Pork Chops on the grill are a summertime (or anytime) favorite!

Score the sides of the pork chops so they don’t curl up as they cook. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill pork chops (recipe below), flipping occasionally. Brush with BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove BBQ pork chops from the grill and let rest.

1-inch chops will take 15-20 minutes
¾-inch chops will take 11-15 minutes
½-inch chops will take 9-12 minutes.

Pork Chop Pro Tips

Keep the pork tender by making sure not to overcook them (use a meat thermometer).
Cook the pork chops to 142°F in the thickest part of the meat—once removed from the heat, they will continue to cook to 145°F.
Pork chops can be (and should be!) a little bit pink in the center.
Store leftover BBQ pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
