Succulent Grilled Hickory Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the garlic, ginger, sage, and salt in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Combine pork chops, wine, oil, lemon juice, garlic, sage, parsley, pepper and salt in a zip top bag. Seal tightly, pressing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate the pork for 2 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, soak the hickory chips in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect high heat (pile all the coals on one side) and lightly oil grate. Put the soaked hickory chips over the coals.
• Cook the pork chops on the side of the grill away from the coals for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, or until desired doneness is achieved. For best results, cover the grill while cooking so that the meat is infused with the smoke flavor; place the air vents on the lid over the meat, open fully, to draw the smoke over the meat. The air vents in the bottom should be half-open on a breezy day, or fully open on a still day.
