Pork chops on the grill reminds me of my childhood because my dad loved grilled pork chops. And since outdoor grilling means that I don’t heat up my house, it’s fast, easy, and there’s less cleanup, I grill during the summer, or actually whenever possible. But the number one reason for grilling is that, for me, the flavor is unbeatable! These gas grilled pork chops marinate for one hour in a simple yet flavor-packed homemade marinade consisting of olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and a variety of spices including thyme, smoked paprika which lends the rich orange hue, onion powder, and garlic. The marinated pork chops are juicy and tender have just enough savory flavor without overwhelming the natural pork flavor. Plus there’s an inherent smokiness you’ll always get from grilling which my family adores.

How to Grill Pork Chops on a Gas Grill
Making homemade marinades is so easy, far more cost-effective than buying them, and you can doctor them up with what you have on hand and enjoy. I’ve provided instructions on grilling pork chops on a gas grill below, but have also given charcoal grill instructions in the recipe card below.
Don’t Own a Gas Grill? No Problem!
However, if gas grilling pork chops isn’t an option for you, there are some alternative cooking methods you can try:
A charcoal grill is also fine if that’s what you have noting that the flavor will be, well, more charcoaly and smoky. You can also use an indoor cast iron grill pan. You can even bake the pork chops in a 350F oven for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
