We loved it! We don't normally like pork chops, either. We wished there was more marinade so we doubled that part the next time we made it.

Used squeeze tube moist basil and garlic as shortcut for marinade, added a little ginger. Let meat come to room temp before cooking, came out great! Moist and flavorful. Used boneless loin chops, 4 minutes each side.

I like trying new recipes on old favorites and bone-in pork chops are a staple for me. To be frank, the flavor of the basil was overwhelming and just too much. I love basil but apparently not this way and not on my pork chops.
You should use your favorite rib rub on chops after thirty minutes or so in Worcestershire. Can’t go wrong that way as long as you pay attention to them on the grill

simple and tasty. I used garlic powder and dried basil since that's what i had on hand, and it worked well. I didn't have time to let it set long, so it turned out a little drier than if I'd marinated longer

delicious! I used thicker boneless pork chops in a pan on the stove, so just had to cook them a bit longer

Very good, baked instead of grilled. Can’t wait to try it on the grill next.
