1. Pork Chops

Pork chops are one of our favorite foods to cook on gas grills. They’re versatile, affordable, and cook up relatively quickly. Their bland flavor allows you to customize them with different marinades and seasonings to cater to diverse tastes.

While pork chops are a breeze to prepare, they are lean cuts of meat that are easy to overcook. There are a few simple tricks you should know to make juicy and tender grilled pork chops.

For this gas grill recipe, choose bone-in thick-cut pork chops as they dry out slower during grilling. We recommend 1-¼ to 1 ½-inch thick cuts for optimal juiciness and tenderness. If you have time, brine your pork chops for 30 minutes to an hour to help them absorb more moisture.

Now, onto the grilling part. Follow these steps to make this super easy gas grill recipe:

1. Let the pork chops sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to ensure even cooking.
2. Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat, typically around 375-400°F.
3. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic, or any other seasoning or marinade of your choice. If the pork chops were brined, do not add more salt.
4. Place the pork chops on the grill, close the lid, and let the meat cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.
5. Use a meat thermometer to check the meat’s internal temperature. Pork chops are safe to eat once they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (medium rare).
6. Turn up the heat on your gas grill to sear the chops on each side for 1-2 minutes or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
7. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

2. Buttery Corn on the Cob

The perfect pairing to your pork chops, grilled corn is a summer and spring BBQ classic. This is one of those go-to gas grill recipes that’s so simple yet so satisfying. 

Follow these steps to cook the perfect grilled corn.

1. Melt some butter in the microwave.
2. Brush your shucked corn with butter.
3. Grill on medium to high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally.
4. Remove from the grill.
5. Let them rest for two minutes.
6. Brush with more butter, add a dash of salt and pepper, and enjoy!

3. Beef Kebabs

Because they’re visually impressive, kebabs are often overlooked as easy gas grill recipes. While they do require a little prep work, it’s so easy you can make the kids do it! Just make sure the younger ones have adult supervision and wear protective gloves.

You can easily modify these gas grill recipes with your favorite ingredients—pineapple chunks are a nice addition—but here’s how to make a classic beef kebab.

1. Marinate beef cubes in soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (You can also slice your preferred beef cut into cubes).
2. Chop bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and squash into skewer-ready chunks.
3. Press the beef and vegetables onto skewers.
4. Grill on high heat for 5-10 minutes until the food is seared.

4. Cinnamon Sugar Peaches à la Mode

This recipe is so simple to make, but the taste is explosive! It also works beautifully with pineapples, apples, pears, mangoes, and all sorts of other fruits. A scoop of vanilla ice cream pushes it over the edge! Here’s one of the most delectably decadent gas grill recipes.

1. Slice a peach in half.
2. Remove the pit.
3. Place thinly sliced pats of butter on the inside of the peach.
4. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top.
5. Grill on high until the peach is golden brown.
6. Scoop ice cream into the middle.

5. Curry Chicken Breasts

Chicken breasts are cookout staples, but it’s no secret that they can be a bit, well, bland. You can jazz up a lot of easy gas grill recipes by replacing your usual spices with curry powder. 

For a more subtle curry flavor, add a pinch of curry powder to your usual dry rub or marinade. A little goes a long way!

Now, simply follow our guide to grilling juicy chicken breasts. This recipe works with chicken thighs, too!

6. Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Here’s one of the best gas grill recipes for vegetarians, but carnivores love it, too. You already know how to grill burgers, but did you know that portobello mushroom caps make amazing substitutes for patties? You might be surprised!

1. Marinate portobello mushroom caps in soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce), balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Sear them on high heat until they’re browned and crispy on the outside.
3. Dress them with your favorite burger toppings.

7. Beer Brats

Beer brats are incredibly easy to make, but they’re more exciting and memorable than the usual hot dogs and sausages. Like ribs, this is one of those set-it-and-forget-it gas grill recipes that’s perfect when you’re hosting.

1. Place brats in a foil pan with lots of chopped onions.
2. Pour a pale lager over them.
3. Grill over indirect heat for an hour or more.
4. Sear over direct heat before serving.
