Grilled Pork Chops (Bone In or Boneless)

Prep Time 35 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 6 pork chops

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in pork chops  1 to 2 inches thick

Marinade

  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Measure the marinade ingredients (½ cup red wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon thyme, ½ teaspoon rosemary, ½ teaspoon parsley, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper) into a mason jar. Seal tightly with the lid and shake vigorously to combine.
  • Place 6 bone-in pork chops  in a zip-top bag or glass dish and cover with marinade.
  • Marinate in fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or as long as 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium high heat (375°F).
  • Clean the grates with a grill brush, then grease grates with 1 cup olive oil or grill spray.
  • Place bone in pork chops on grill and cook on first side for 5 minutes. Use grill tongs or spatula to flip chops over, and cook for 4-6 minutes on second side. Pork is done when Internal temperature of the meat is at least 145°F degrees. *Be sure that the probe of your thermometer is not touching any bone.
  • Remove from grill and let meat rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Feel free to substitute your favorite herbs in the Italian marinade. I like a mixture of dried basil, dried thyme and dried oregano, but you can't go wrong. Try dried rosemary or parsley too. I suggest picking 2-3 and using ½ teaspoon of each.
When the pork chops are ready to be flipped, they will easily release from the grill. If you try to flip them and they are sticking to the grill grates, they aren't ready to flip yet.
For thinner or boneless pork chops, reduce cook time to 6-10 minutes, depending on thickness.
You can double this marinade and use it for grilled veggies as well! Cook grilled veggies in a foil pack or grill safe basket.
