Juicy thick cut pork chops are simple to prepare and the result can rival any traditional beef steak. I’m not even kidding! And they are way cheaper to buy too. I call them my secret weapon when it comes to feeding a crowd on a special occasion.
Making a perfect pork chop is completely easy. If you haven’t had a thick cut pork chop before, well, prepare to fall in love with pork chops. Those thin, flimsy chops you see all over the grocery store dry out easily and lack the complete flavor pork chops have to offer.
You can buy a thick cut chop at almost any grocery, but you’ll probably have to ask for it. Just head on over to the meat counter and ask for a 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick cut pork chop. If you’ve got a good butcher, they will probably smile at your request. Keeping the bone-in helps retain both flavor and moisture, and cutting it thick practically ensures a juicy result.
Have a smoker? I also have a post detailing How to Smoke A Thick Cut Pork Chop that you should check out. Smokers are an amazing way to cook almost any meat. If you don’t already have a smoker, you should seriously consider getting one.

These were extremely tasty…like eating a nice steak. My 8 yr old son loves this recipe and asks for it frequently. I let my choose rest for 20 mins on the counter before cooking to help cook more evenly. Also, turn you fan on…it does get smoky.
Absolutely love this recipe. I’ve made it numerous times and the chops are always delicious and tender!
Exactly the way I cook them, but minus the soy sauce that I use. Everything Rachel shows for us is so easy to prep and cook. Love her!
Excellent
Delicious!
Absolutely great!!!! Thank you!!!!
I am famous for overcooking and drying out every piece of meat I’ve ever made, which is why I didn’t want to risk cooking thick cut pork chops without advice from someone who knows what they’re doing. This recipe was perfect, I followed the directions exactly and my pork chops were juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The only modification I used was brushing on a little A1 just before they were done cooking. 10/10 will cook again.
The first time in my 54 years of marriage, that I got the pork chops perfect and rave reviews from Hubby. So tender and delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Very good flavor, but overcooked at 15 mins. I’ll try 11-12 next time. Also, had my pan super hot and caused SMOKE (looks like I needed the fire department) and pan in oven caused same. Not sure if that will happen next time when I lower the heat on the cooktop first.
This worked beautifully with the two bone-in one inch thick chops and I cannot stop patting myself on the back. They were so good.
Thank you!!
