How to Choose the Right Cut of Pork Chop for Grilling

There are five different cuts of pork chops, each with its own flavor and recommended cooking methods for best results. They include rib chops, loin chops, boneless chops and shoulder chops.

Rib chops and loin chops are the most desirable cuts of pork because they’re a lean, tender meat that doesn’t dry out or become tough. Shoulder chops are the least desirable, as they’re a heavier and fattier meat with lots of connective tissue and tough gristle that requires slow-cooking to achieve tenderness.

Regardless of what type of chops you choose, you’ll want to make sure they’re bone-in and at least 1-inch thick for optimal grilling. You’ll also want to get them to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F so they’re juicy and tender.
