Simple Grilled Bone-in Rib Pork Chops
Cooking pork chops on a barbecue grill is quite an art. Producing a juicy and tender pork chop on the grill is not something to be taken lightly as it does require some skills and patience. At its best, pork cooked on charcoal is tender, juicy and deliciously smoky. The key to great pork cooked on charcoal is a long, slow cooking time with very little disruptions.

Place pork chops in a ziploc freezer bag. Pour about 60% of marinade into the freezer bag over the pork chops. Coat the pork chops liberally with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, or up to overnight. Reserve the remaining ( 40%) marinade to glaze the pork chops later.

To grill the pork chops, first take the pork chops out from the refrigerator, drain and place on plate 1 hour before grilling and pat dry using paper towel. Discard the marinade.

Lightly season them and you're free to cook it anyway you want. But traditionally, they are grilled over charcoal.

So prepare an outdoor charcoal grill for high heat.
- 7
Let the grilling grate heat up about 5 minutes. Then lightly oil the grilling grate.

Grill the pork chops directly above the hot coal over high heat to sear the outside to get some nice browned grill marks, about 3 minutes each side.

Then move the pork chops from directly above heat source. Continue cooking over indirect heat, brushing the remaining marinade on each side of the pork chops and cooked until no longer pink in the centre.
