Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are about 1-inch thick with a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
- Marinate the pork chops. Marinating the chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids will help tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help prevent them from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 150°F for medium, or 160°F for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Saucy grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork chops are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
