Seasoning in a bowl.

How to grill pork chops

  • Heat the gas grill over medium high heat. It needs to be at least 400 degrees F and rub the grill gates with olive oil so that the pork chops do not stick while grilling.
  • Place the pork chops on the grill and cook. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side (based on the thickness of the pork chops) until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. The pork will release naturally from the grill gates when it’s ready to flip. If the pork is browning too quickly because of the sugar in the marinade, reduce the temperature on the grill.
  • Allow the cooked pork chops to rest. Move the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
  • Mix the reserved sauce. While the pork is cooking, mix the remaining sauce with the cornstarch. Heat this mixture in a sauce pan over medium high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture has thickened.
  • Baste the meat. Brush this sauce over the grilled pork chops when serving and enjoy! Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

How long to grill Pork Chops?

Pork chops take about 5 to 6 minutes per side to cook. Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork to be sure it is done.

Each pork chop will cook differently based on the thickness of the pork. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees in the thickest portion of the meat. For more tips, check out How to Grill Pork Chops.

What to serve with Grilled Teriyaki Pork Chops:

  • White Rice. We make a huge batch in the crock pot. The teriyaki sauce is delicious spooned over the rice.
  • Steamed Broccoli. This is a light option that pairs nicely with the sweet sauce. Plus, it takes just minutes to prepare.
  • Homemade Mashed Potatoes. My kids love mashed potatoes and use the sauce like gravy.

This meat is delicious served as leftovers. Simply, cut into bite size pieces and serve with fried rice.
