How To Barbecue Pork Chops

Hi, there. I'm going to show you how to barbecue shops. Now, I actually think one of the best ways is to take them off the bone, which I've already done here, and what I'm going to do is just lay them over the hot coals.

If you have a look at this particular barbecue, what we've done is, this half of the barbecue has the hot coals on. This side is kept clear. The idea being that if any part of the chop is over-cooking, you can start moving them over that side.

The other thing is always be aware of where the grill is in relation to the chop. Particularly if you are using a spatula, you want to slide along the grill, and what I like doing is over-emphasizing the bar marks which you can do by changing the direction of the flesh. So you can have it, as I've got now, at five past seven, and what I'll do is turn that by ninety degrees, sort of ten to five, and I'm going to do that in about a minute or two.

These do take a little longer to cook than, say, a little escallop of chicken or a little escallop of steak, or I would say probably about four and a half minutes. And you want to cook pork all the way through, there's no, you know, you can't have any margin for error as far as keeping it raw is concerned. But I think if we just have a quick little peek, look, you can see it's certainly on its way.

And just because I can, I'm now going to turn that ninety degrees, to give it that nice lattice. Probably another minute and a half on there, then I'm going to flip them over. Same thing, cook them one way, turn them ninety degrees.

After about four and a half minutes, plate them up, squeeze of lemon juice, some black pepper, maybe even some HP sauce to go with those. But, a winner at any barbecue, well, those have been cooking away now for quite a long time. I've actually done them for about seven or eight minutes.

But if you look at that, I mean, they're cooked all the way through. That's what you want a pork chop to look like when it's come off the barbecue. And ladies and gents, that's how you barbecue a pork chop.
