I am posting this because these are the juiciest pork chops I've ever come across, even the second day. I hate left over pork chops because they are always dry. I usually make my via Shake & Bake, but only make two to avoid any leftovers. I saw this on Cook's Country and thought, why not, I love grilling and buying 4 at a time is usually the better bargain. I was shocked how juicy and tender they were. I have found my new leftover pork chop recipe. I hope you will too with this one.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

¾ cup ketchup
¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon black pepper
8 (1-inch thick) boneless pork chops

Steps:

Combine ketchup, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, butter, mustard, oil, salt, cloves, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
Place pork chops in a zip-top bag and pour cooled sauce over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes total, flipping as needed. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Season the pork chops generously: Before grilling, season the pork chops with a flavorful rub or marinade. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chops and give them a nice crust.
Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chops and prevent them from drying out. Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are grilled, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following the tips above, you can grill pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Serve grilled pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
