How long should you cook boneless barbecue pork chops?

The cooking time for boneless barbecue pork chops depends on their thickness and the cooking method. Here's a general guideline:

For a 1-inch thick boneless pork chop:

* Grilling: 5-7 minutes per side over medium heat (internal temperature should reach 145°F)

* Baking: 20-25 minutes at 350°F (internal temperature should reach 145°F)

* Pan-frying: 4-6 minutes per side over medium heat (internal temperature should reach 145°F)

Adjustments for thicker chops:

* Grilling: Add 2-3 minutes per side for every additional ¼ inch of thickness.

* Baking: Add 5-7 minutes per side for every additional ¼ inch of thickness.

* Pan-frying: Add 1-2 minutes per side for every additional ¼ inch of thickness.

Important notes:

* Internal temperature: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

* Resting: Allow the chops to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chop.

* Cooking methods: Different cooking methods require different temperatures and times. Consult your recipe or the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidelines.

* Personal preference: Cooking times can vary depending on your personal preference for doneness. Some people prefer their pork chops cooked to a slightly pinker center, while others prefer them cooked through.

Barbecue sauce:

* Adding barbecue sauce: You can add barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.

* Glazing: For a sticky glaze, add the sauce in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

By following these guidelines and adjusting the cooking time based on your specific pork chop thickness and preferred doneness, you can ensure perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful boneless barbecue pork chops.
