Why Pork Chops Work So Well on the Grill

Pork chops are one of the most efficient proteins you can grill. They take seasoning well, develop a quick sear, and stay juicy when cooked to the right temperature.

Boneless chops cook faster, while bone-in chops offer a little more forgiveness. Either option works with this method.

Why Garlic Jalapeño Is Perfect for Pork

Garlic and pork are a natural pairing. Adding mild jalapeño warmth gives the meat more dimension without pushing heat too far.

Heath Riles Garlic Jalapeño keeps garlic at the forefront while letting the pepper add just enough warmth to make the chop interesting.

Ingredients You Need

Pork chops, boneless or bone-in
Heath Riles Garlic Jalapeño Rub
Neutral oil

Prep for Maximum Juiciness

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before grilling to take the chill off.

Pat dry with paper towels, then lightly coat both sides with oil. This helps the seasoning adhere and promotes even browning.

Season generously on both sides with Garlic Jalapeño. Pork can handle a confident application.

20 Minute Grill Method

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the pork chops directly over the heat and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side to develop a good sear.

Once seared, move the chops to indirect heat and continue cooking until they reach the target internal temperature.

Total cook time typically lands between 12 and 18 minutes depending on thickness.

How to Know When Pork Chops Are Done

Pork chops are best when pulled around 140°F to 145°F internal temperature and rested briefly.

Resting allows juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
