In the fall and winter, my family loves my Baked Breaded Pork Chops, Crock Pot Pork Chops or Baked Ranch Pork Chops. But in the spring and summer, it's all about grilling.

Simple Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make these grilled pork chops. And, you probably have everything you need in your fridge or pantry:

• Bone-in pork chops
• Dry rub - sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika
• Italian salad dressing

How to Make Juicy Grilled Pork Chops

Seasoning

Start off by seasoning your chops with a simple dry rub. First, pat the chops dry with a paper towel. Then, mix sea salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika together. Rub on both sides of the pork chops.

Marinade

Italian dressing makes the easiest, BEST marinade for pork chops! Just place the pork chops into a zip-top gallon freezer bag. Then, pour Italian Dressing into the bag, over the chops. You don't need a lot of dressing -- 1 cup will do.

Next, marinate the pork chops in the Italian dressing for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. You can marinate for 2 hours or overnight if you want, but it's not necessary.

Grill

Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator while you preheat the grill. Note -- Don't leave them out for longer than 20 minutes. Rub a little avocado oil on the grates to avoid the meat sticking.

Cook on direct medium heat -- about 350 degrees for 4 minutes on one side. Then, flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the internal temperature is at least 145 degrees, according to a meat thermometer.

Note -- These chops were about ½ to ¾ inches thick. If yours are thicker than that, they'll need to cook a little longer.

Cook Pork Chops with Italian Dressing in Air Fryer

If you can't grill or don't want to grill your chops, air fry them! We make Juicy Air Fryer Pork Chops with just a dry rub, but marinating them first makes them even juicier and more flavorful.

After marinating, preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees. Cook for 20 minutes, turning about halfway through the cooking process. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they're at least 145 degrees internally.
