📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a large freezer bag. Remove 1/3 cup to use later to baste the pork chops (“reserved marinade”). Add pork to the freezer bag and turn to evenly coat. Marinate for ⏱️ 4-12 hours.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS
3
Let pork chops sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
4
Heat grill to medium-high heat, clean and generously oil the grates.
5
Add the pork chops to the grill and cover. Reduce heat as needed to maintain heat around 400 degrees F. Grill for ⏱️ 4-6 minutes per side or until the thickest part of the meat registers 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. If your pork chops are extra thick then you will need to grill longer, reducing the heat as needed.
6
Baste the pork chops with reserved marinade the last ⏱️ 30 seconds of cooking on each side.
7
Transfer pork to a plate and brush with desired amount of remaining reserved marinade. Let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste (I like more salt).
8
OVEN-BAKED PORK CHOPS
9
Let pork chops sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
10
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray (I like to line with foil first for easy clean up).
11
Transfer pork chops to prepared baking dish and roast for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes, turning once half way through, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. You may need to bake up to ⏱️ 25 minutes if you have extra thick pork chops.
