This simple variation on grilled pork chops is guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters! Super simple, super easy. You can’t go wrong with grilled pork chops whether for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend backyard BBQ. I like to use bone-in pork chops when possible, as they tend to have more flavor and are less likely to dry out than boneless pork chops, but use whichever you prefer.
There are so many delicious sauces and rubs you can use to season your pork chops before throwing them on the grill. Try different types of barbecue sauce (sweet, spicy, or smoky), teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, chili-garlic sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or mustard sauce. The options are endless!

How to Store
Store leftover BBQ pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, in a skillet set over medium heat for 2-3 minutes a side, or in the microwave in 30-second increments until heated through.

Serving Suggestions
Kick off grilling season with BBQ pork chops, and serve with all the classic barbecue sides like creamy coleslaw, a batch of hearty baked beans, or fluffy mashed potatoes. If corn season has arrived, grilled corn on the cob is a must, as is confetti corn salad.
