This process calls for a dry brine – I highly recommend brining the pork chops for 24 hours, but if you are pressed on time, you can do it in 2 hours.
This grilled pork chops recipe does have a few steps, but it’s easy to follow and you’ll love the results!
Juicy pork chops are a real treat. You can serve them with a few sides or slice them up and them to pork chop recipes like our Pork Chop Sandwich. They’ll keep in the refrigerator for several days and make great leftovers.
While this recipe does require you to plan ahead for the dry brine it’s so worth it!

Here’s what you’ll need to make the best grilled pork chops.
See the recipe card for quantities.
I highly recommend using thicker chops (1 ⅓ inch to 1 ½ inch thick). This helps to retain moisture better and will result in juicy chops.
Thin pork chops will dry out and become too tough. You can cook thinner chops in a manner similar to pork tenderloin under low, slow heat.

I do not recommend using boneless pork chops for this recipe. They’ll dry out too quickly when you do the reverse sear.
Because this is a high heat method of cooking chops, you should use a bone-in pork chop for the best results. Bone-in pork chop types include center-cut rib chops, shoulder chops, and rib chops, which will both work for this recipe.
Most grocery stores will have one kind of bone-in chop, but you may have to go to a butcher or specialty meat store to get a specific kind.
Pat dry the pork chops with some paper towels and set them on a cutting board.
Combine the salt, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried rosemary. Stir till combined.
Sprinkle half the mixture over the pork chops and rub it in. Flip the pork chops and sprinkle on the remaining spice blend and rub it in.
Place the pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 24 hours (if possible).
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before using, to bring them to room temperature.
If the layer of fat along the side of the pork chops is thick, use a sharp knife to slice into it in 2 to 3 places to prevent the chops from curling.
While the pork rests at room temperature, heat half of your grill to medium-high heat (400 degrees) – the chops will be cooked on direct and indirect heat.
Place the chops on the side of the grill without heat and close the lid of your grill. Allow them to cook for 15 minutes in indirect heat.

Move the chops to the hot side of the grill, over the flames, and allow them to develop grill marks, flipping occasionally for 3 to 6 minutes.
If you’d like to add BBQ sauce, now is the time to do it, brush it on both sides of the chops.
The pork chops will be done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the heat and allow them to rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board.
Serve the pork chops whole or in slices.

Cooking Tips – You can make this on a gas grill or charcoal grill, but you need to use a grill large enough that you can have two distinct sides – one with indirect heat, and one with direct heat.
Grill Preparation – Make sure to thoroughly clean your grill grates before making this recipe. If you are worried about the meat sticking to your grill, you can always brush a tablespoon or two of olive oil or neutral oil onto the grill grate before adding the chops.
