Barbecue Pork Chops Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n- Boneless pork loin chops<\/strong>: This type of cut cooks faster and can be easier to prepare. You’ll want to monitor them while cooking to make sure they don’t dry out.<\/li>\n
- Brown sugar<\/strong>: Brown sugar helps caramelize the pork and makes the finished product stickier. Due to those caramelization properties and its deeper flavor, make sure to use brown and not white sugar.<\/li>\n
- Sweet onion<\/strong>: Sweet onion, obviously, imparts a little bit of sweetness. It will soften as it’s cooked to add some additional texture and flavor.<\/li>\n
- Ketchup:\u00a0<\/strong>Part of the sauce that provides acidity and a caramel sweetness when mixed in.<\/li>\n
- Barbecue sauce:\u00a0<\/strong>A core component of the sauce. You can use your preferred brand or make your own barbecue sauce<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- French salad dressing:\u00a0<\/strong>The acid in French salad dressing<\/a> helps cut through and balance the other ingredients’ sweetness.<\/li>\n
- Honey<\/strong>: This thickens and sweetens the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Brown the pork chops<\/h3>\n

Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/div>\nBarbecue Pork Chops Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Swap in chicken:\u00a0<\/strong>This barbecue sauce is also great with chicken instead of pork if you’re craving something different.<\/li>\n
- Dress it up: <\/strong>Instead of French salad dressing you can use Catalina salad dressing<\/a>. They’re similar enough that you can swap them in for each other without drastically changing the meal. Catalina tends to be heavier on the ketchup and therefore more acidic.<\/li>\n
- Make time for marinade: <\/strong>Prior to cooking, marinate your pork chops in some of the sauce (you don’t have to worry about whipping up another marinade) for more flavor and tenderness.<\/li>\n
- Go veggie: <\/strong>You can roast some of your favorite veggies and then cover them with the sauce if you’d prefer to go meatless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Barbecue Pork Chops<\/h2>\nStore any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat over the stove for best results.<\/div>\nCan you freeze barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>\nOnce the pork chops are completely cool, place them in a freezer-safe container for up to two months. You can thaw them in the fridge overnight when you’re ready to eat them. Heat them up on the stove, gently stirring the sauce.<\/div>\nBarbecue Pork Chop Tips<\/h2>\n

Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHow do you keep pork chops from drying out?<\/h3>\nMake sure that the internal temperature is 145\u00b0 for maximum juiciness. A meat thermometer<\/a> is a great way to make sure that the pork’s temperature doesn’t get too high. Brining the pork chops<\/a> before cooking can also improve moisture retention.<\/div>\nCan you use bone-in pork chops?<\/h3>\nYes \u2014 bone-in pork chops make for a juicy and more tender end result. The cooking time will vary depending on the pork chop’s thickness but most bone-in pork chops are finished in approximately 8 to 10 minutes per side on the stove.<\/div>\nCan you grill barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>\nYou sure can. We recommend grilling over medium heat. A standard 2-inch-thick boneless pork chop should cook in four to six minutes per side.<\/div>\nCan you make this recipe in an oven?<\/h3>\nYes, you can make barbecue pork chops in the oven. Bake the pork chops<\/a> for about 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the pork chop) at 350\u00b0. Use a meat thermometer to keep an eye on them; they’re done when they reach an internal temperature of 145\u00b0.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These barbecue pork chops are easy, tangy and sweet.

How do you keep pork chops from drying out?<\/h3>The best way to keep pork chops from drying out is to keep a close eye on the internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to test the pork for doneness\u2014you\u2019re looking for an internal temperature of 145\u00b0 for maximum juiciness. Brining<\/a> pork chops before cooking them is another way to improve moisture retention.\r\n\r\nCan you use bone-in pork chops?<\/h3>Although we use boneless pork chops for this recipe, you can absolutely use bone-in pork chops instead. Boneless pork chops cook quickly (4 to 5 minutes per side), making them our go-to choice for easy pork chop recipes<\/a>. While cooking time varies for bone-in chops depending on their thickness, most bone-in pork chops are finished in approximately 8 to 10 minutes per side. Using an instant-read thermometer is the best way to know\u2014not guess\u2014when the pork is finished. \r\n\r\nCan you grill barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>When the weather is agreeable, feel free to take this barbecue pork chop recipe outside. Once you become familiar with how to grill pork chops<\/a>, you\u2019ll find this method adds an incredible flavor to the pork. We recommend grilling over medium heat, and a standard, 2-inch-thick boneless pork chop should cook in about 4 to 6 minutes per side.\r\n\r\nWhat do you serve with barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>The classic pairings for barbecue pork chops include coleslaw, baked beans, cornbread or potato salad. You can also consider serving grilled vegetables, such as grilled corn<\/a> or grilled asparagus<\/a>, to add a fresh and flavorful element to the meal.

An 8 oz boneless center cut pork loin chop (raw) has over 400 calories all by itself; you state 1 chop of the prepared recipe is 282. Actually, it is more in the neighborhood of 650 calories.

Can you grill barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>\n
Can you make this recipe in an oven?<\/h3>\n
How do you keep pork chops from drying out?<\/h3>The best way to keep pork chops from drying out is to keep a close eye on the internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to test the pork for doneness\u2014you\u2019re looking for an internal temperature of 145\u00b0 for maximum juiciness. Brining<\/a> pork chops before cooking them is another way to improve moisture retention.\r\n\r\n
Can you use bone-in pork chops?<\/h3>Although we use boneless pork chops for this recipe, you can absolutely use bone-in pork chops instead. Boneless pork chops cook quickly (4 to 5 minutes per side), making them our go-to choice for easy pork chop recipes<\/a>. While cooking time varies for bone-in chops depending on their thickness, most bone-in pork chops are finished in approximately 8 to 10 minutes per side. Using an instant-read thermometer is the best way to know\u2014not guess\u2014when the pork is finished. \r\n\r\n
Can you grill barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>When the weather is agreeable, feel free to take this barbecue pork chop recipe outside. Once you become familiar with how to grill pork chops<\/a>, you\u2019ll find this method adds an incredible flavor to the pork. We recommend grilling over medium heat, and a standard, 2-inch-thick boneless pork chop should cook in about 4 to 6 minutes per side.\r\n\r\n
What do you serve with barbecue pork chops?<\/h3>The classic pairings for barbecue pork chops include coleslaw, baked beans, cornbread or potato salad. You can also consider serving grilled vegetables, such as grilled corn<\/a> or grilled asparagus<\/a>, to add a fresh and flavorful element to the meal.
