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.

So good!!! I don’t cook pork chops that often since they usually turn out dry and flavorless, but these turned out perfectly! Followed the recipe exactly, but I did have to leave them in the oven for about 5 minutes longer… They weren’t done yet.
Thick cut pork chops are now one of my favorites ๐
Easy and delicious! Definitely will make again. The pork tasted like a beef steak and when we began to eat, I got up and poured us a glass of wine. It was that good!
Followed direction to a T, my pork chops were about an inch and a half thick and let them rest for 10 minutes and absolutely tough.
We love this recipe! The two of us share one large chop. It really is โperfectโ and couldnโt be easier.
Iโll do this for our Valentine dinner. Love the simplicity and completeness of the video
