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.

Excellent recipe. Chops were juicy and flavorful. Thanks for sharing your recipe
I love, love, love this recipe. I return here often because my memory stinks. I really need to write it down. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I’ve made this multiple times and it is so moist. That was my biggest fear of the chops being dry, And they were perfect. Thank you
This is awesome it’s always nice to find different ways to cook
I have made this several times. I have used both bone-in and boneless thick pork chops.
I usually use a seasoned salt of some kind and also add both garlic powder and onion powder. They are juicy and have come out lovely every time.
Im hard to please when it comes to pork – but my hubby and I loved this!! Thank you. Downside, it made a splattery mess in my oven. So, can it be covered loosly with foil during oven time?
For me, there isn’t another way to cook the perfect thick chop.
I love this recipe!
Simple and wonderful. Thank you!
Hi, can you tell me if I should have take chops out at 15 minutes when temp was 138? I continued to cook for additional 7 minutes and then they registered at 170?
do they continue to cook after removing from oven? They were delicious!!!!
thank you!
Edited my typo!! They took 18 minutes in the oven, not 28’
