And remember to keep the grill covered the whole time so that heat doesn't escape. The pork chops are ready when they register 145°F in the thickest chop, but don't serve them just yet — let them rest for five minutes so that the juices in the meat redistribute themselves and the muscle fibers relax.
How do you know when pork chops are done on the grill?
The best way is to use a meat thermometer.
Stick the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, hitting no bone. The USDA recommends that pork should be cooked until it reaches a minimum of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the lowest temperature at which your pork is safe to eat and will be a Medium Rare cook.
How long does it take to cook pork chops on the grill?
Pork chops cook relatively quickly on the grill. Depending on how thick the cut, the pork chop grill time will be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. Whether grilling with gas or over charcoal, make sure your grill grates are hot. The pork chop grill temp should be between 350° to 450°F.
