Brining is a great way to add moisture to any meat and is beneficial
with pork. The real benefit however is going to be with thicker cuts of meat.
If you are using thin chops brining may not be the best way to go.
Marinade For thinner chops a good marinade is the way to go.
Marinades cannot sink into meat like a brine will but it adds a protective
layer to the chops while letting you add loads of flavor. A good example of a
basic marinade is Italian Dressing. It contains oil, vinegar and water as well
as herbs and spices. Thin chops can be sufficiently marinated in as little as
30 minutes. The marinade will tenderize the meat and protect it from the high heat
of the grill.
Thin chops should be grilled hot and fast. This is really
one you shouldn't step away from since thinner pork chops will cook quickly.
The trick is to grill them like you would a steak, over an high heat, flipping
as little as possible. Preheat your grill to as hot a temperature as it will
go. With a hot grill and thin chops you should have them off the grill in 4 to
5 minutes. Thick chops need a slower heat to get them cooked without drying
them out.
Once the chops are cooked the way you like them, it’s time
to get them off the grill. Place on a plate and cover with tin foil for 5 to 10
minutes to let them rest. Rest period allows the juices to flow through the
pork chop. This is an important step.
