Step 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush the frozen pork chops with mustard, milk, or beaten egg. Apply your favorite seasoning. Then, thoroughly coat with seasoned bread crumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Drizzle a little olive oil into a baking dish and place the pork chops in a single layer, not touching. You can drizzle a little bit more oil on top if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Grill Frozen Pork Chops?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Here is how you can prepare them on the grill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Fire up the grill. For a gas grill, set the burners to medium. If you\u2019re using a charcoal grill, set up two sides – indirect and direct heat. For a pellet grill, set the dial to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Season the pork with desired dried herbs or your favorite rub. Press the seasoning into the frozen surface as best as you can. The seasoning may not stick to the frozen meat – you may need to re-season each pork chop later on when they have had some time to defrost. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Place the chops on the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook each side for up to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check the internal temperature before taking the chops off the grate. Again, you\u2019re cooking the chops to a minimum internal temperature of 145\u00b0F.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Cook Frozen Pork Chops on the Stove?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Finally, here is how to cook your dish on the stovetop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Put oil or butter in a pan and place it over medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this is heating up, season the chops. You can add anything you like. Kosher salt and pepper are classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Place each chop side by side, making sure that they aren’t touching. Cook one side for about five minutes and then flip to the other side. Cook for five minutes more until the outside is nice and brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then turn down the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for up to 15 minutes more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check the internal temperature (145\u00b0F) and then take off the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Well, there you have it – a guide to cooking pork chops without having to defrost them first. Again, I\u2019d recommend defrosting chops (or any meat) before cooking. <\/strong>They\u2019ll taste better. They\u2019ll cook more evenly. If you use the cold water method, it\u2019ll only take an hour or two. Use the microwave if you\u2019re really in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI hope you\u2019ve learned everything you needed to in this post. Happy cooking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I would advise against cooking any meat that\u2019s frozen. The food will cook unevenly, likely resulting in some burned areas and some areas that are undercooked. But if you\u2019re determined to cook frozen chops, you can prepare them on the stove, in the oven, or on the grill.
