We don’t grill a lot of pork chops at our house. I’m really not sure why. Whenever we make them, we both really enjoy them. Pork chops were on sale at the grocery store last week, so I decided it was time to fire up the grill for some chops!
How to Make BBQ Pork Chops
The pork chops are marinated in a dry rub and then brushed with some BBQ sauce right before we pulled them off the grill. I let the pork chops marinate all day. I am of the opinion the longer the better!
You can use boneless or bone-in pork chops. Cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145ºF. It is OK for pork to have some pink in it. As long as it is 145ºF, it is safe to eat.
Make sure to use your favorite BBQ sauce to finish off the chops. I used Sweet Baby Ray’s because that is what I had in the refrigerator. I also like some of the local BBQ sauces that the grocery store carries – Williams Bros. is one of my favorites! It isn’t as thick as Sweet Baby Ray’s and has a great flavor.
What to Serve with Pork Chops
These pork chops were seriously delicious! Nice and tender and full of great flavor!!! I made some extra pork chops and we ate them for lunch the next day. They were just as delicious as the day before. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides – we like Mac & Cheese and Baked Beans.

Excellant marinade, Stephanie. I made these last night, March 23, 2019 and they turned out great. I ran just short of the paprika and topped it off with a 1/2 TBSP of smoked paprika. What a wonderful happen chance. I didn't use any BBQ sauce because I wanted to taste the chops as is and they were fantastic. While savouring the chops I couldn't help but think that these would taste out to this world if they were smoked as the dry brine would fit in perfectly.
I made these and used the Williams Brothers BBQ sauce. Fantastic!!! Thank You, I also have a new favorite BBQ sauce.
These are the BEST chops ever!!! My family went crazy over these. I will never make grilled chops any other way. Thank you ????
Woohoo!! SO glad they were a hit!
Chops look delicious and the brine sounds just right.
