Griddle Pork Chops
This is my favorite way to make pork chops on the griddle! With a simple homemade seasoning blend and a nice seared crust, these Blackstone pork chops will be a family favorite griddle dinner recipe!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops *We recommend bone-in center cut chops that are about 1" thick.
- 2-3 tablespoons high heat cooking oil like avocado oil
- seasoning of your choice
Homemade Pork Chop Seasoning:
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ tablespoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or substitute regular paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Make the seasoning blend. Mix all seasoning ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
- Preheat the griddle. Heat griddle to about 400-425℉. Add about 2 tablespoons of high-heat cooking oil to the heated surface and spread it around with your spatula.
- Season the pork chops. While griddle is heating, season both sides of the pork chops with seasoning of your choice. Thicker chops can handle more seasoning. Test your seasoning for saltiness, and take care to not over-season, especially with thinner chops.
- Cook the pork chops on the griddle. Place the pork chops down on the oiled surface, and cook on the first side untouched for about 3 minutes, or until chops have developed a nice seared crust and golden color. Flip to the second side and cook an additional 3 minutes. For thick cut chops - Continue to cook, flipping every 1-2 minutes, until done (about 12-15 minutes total cook time depending on your grill temp and size of chops). For thin boneless chops - After cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a sear, flip every 60 seconds until done (about 7-8 minutes total cook time depending on grill temp).
- Remove pork chops from the griddle and rest. When pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145℉, transfer them to a serving plate to rest for about 4-5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- The total cook time listed in the recipe will vary based on the temperature of your griddle and the thickness of your pork chops. Be sure to cook your pork chops just until they reach 145°F internal temperature, and then remove from the griddle to rest.
- For the best pork chops on the Blackstone, look for bone-in, center-cut chops that are about 1″ thick with a good amount of marbling.
- The seasoning options for pork chops are pretty much endless. Try our homemade pork chop seasoning, use your favorite all-purpose seasoning, or try barbecue or Mexican seasonings to mix it up a bit.
- If space allows, flip your pork chops to the second side in a clear area on the griddle. The areas of the griddle top that did not previously have food on them will be hotter, because the cold meat has not zapped away the heat. This ensures a nice seared crust on both sides.
