Grilled Pork Chops – 3 Ways |
I’ll be honest, we got the boys eating pork chops by telling them they were steaks! After eating one, Lincoln proclaimed, “That’s the best steak I’ve ever had!” Hey, when you have picky eaters, whatever works, right? We first learned this trick after eating catfish nuggets at our favorite restaurant. Lincoln happened to be away from the table when we ordered. When they were delivered, he was like, ‘ohhh, chicken nuggets, yum!” We just didn’t correct him. He ate them, loved them, and stated they were “the best chicken nuggets ever!” We continued ordering ‘chicken nuggets’ every week until Ryder blurted out one night, “Lincoln, this is fish!! How can you not tell the difference?!”
Um, busted!! But, he did keep eating them, he liked them so much!
I got these 1 1/2 inch thick pork chops one day. Big Daddy and Lincoln were minding the grill. I didn’t instruct how to cook them so I suppose they wanted to be adventureous! Each chop got a different seasoning/marinade.
1. Worcestershire, garlic and olive oil
2. Gulden’s mustard and orange marmalade
3. Buffalo wing sauce
Which one do you think was the favorite? Keep reading to find out!

Big Daddy liked the Buffalo wing sauce best.
Lincoln and Ryder liked the Worcestershire/garlic combo.
I liked the mustard/orange marmalade best.

Paula says
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Place seasoned pork chops onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (which will depend on how thick the pork chops are).Serve hot.
