FAQs

How do I grill pork chops without letting them dry out?

The secret is to grill them quickly over medium-high heat. You’ll want the meat to cook pretty quickly and sear on the outside, but then remain juicy on the inside. Then, allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Should I use bone-in or boneless pork chops?

Boneless pork chops are certainly easier because the bone is already removed, but bone-in does allow for extra fat to remain in the pork chop while it’s cooking. That tends to make the meat a bit juicier and more flavorful.

How does dijon mustard help in a pork chop recipe?

It adds lots of flavor, but it also surprisingly helps tenderize the meat! It’s a win-win!
