Total Time:
Try Chef John's overnight dry-brine for incredibly juicy, flavorful pork chops.
Ingredients:
  • 4 large center-cut bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Vegetable oil for grilling
Instructions:
  • In a small bowl, blend kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the flavorful dry brine. Apply generously to both sides of the pork chops. Place the chops on a rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet and refrigerate without covering for 18 to 24 hours.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the pork chops with a light coating of vegetable oil.
  • Grill chops until they reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees F (60 degrees C), ensuring they are evenly browned on all sides. Place on a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
