Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make a marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a deep dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your broiler to high. Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
If grilling: Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
If broiling: Place the pork chops on a baking sheet lined with foil and broil about 4-5 inches from the heat source. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring tender and flavorful chops.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
