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.

After reading the recipe, then the comments, I thought โoh come on, how can these chops be so good โ. Boy, was I wrong. Made them tonight, they were fantastic. Juicy and very flavorful. Thank you!
i’VE COOKED FOR MANY MANY YEARS and…THIS was the best, easiest, way to have juicy chops…Yummm
Tried the recipe, came out great. Delicious
Mine were a little pink but temp was correct.Delish but husband doesn’t like to see pink.Is it ok to see a little pink with pork?
Yes, pork cooked to proper temperature will still be slightly pink in the center. It is perfectly safe to eat with a little pink so long as you have checked the temperature.
