Tips & Tricks Straight from the Grill Master
Now that you know the basics, let’s dive into some helpful tips and commonly asked questions:
-
Pork Chops Galore: This recipe works equally well with boneless or bone-in pork chops. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chops. Thick-cut chops will require a bit more time on the grill or in the skillet.
-
Embrace the Pink: Contrary to popular belief, perfectly cooked pork chops can retain a blush of pink. Avoid overcooking them, as this tends to dry out the meat. To ensure they’re cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer and aim for an internal temperature of 145°F. Ground pork, on the other hand, should be cooked to 160°F.
-
Marinating Magic: While marinating the pork chops in the glaze before cooking is preferred, you can still achieve incredible flavor by simply brushing on the glaze as they cook. This way, you can enjoy these delectable chops even if you’re short on time.
-
The Chili Sauce Quest: The secret ingredient behind the glaze is chili sauce, and we recommend using a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce for the best results. You can find it conveniently located next to the ketchup aisle in your local grocery store.
-
Chicken Champ: Looking to switch things up? This honey garlic sauce works wonders with chicken too. Give it a try and prepare to be amazed.
-
Grill or Skillet: The choice is yours! You can cook these mouthwatering pork chops on the grill or in a skillet. For stovetop cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting them with the reserved glaze before removing them from the pan. If grilling is your preferred method, cook the chops over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, flip them, brush on the glaze, and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 145ºF.
