Sweet and Sassy Brined Pork Chops
Pork chops are my kryptonite… as in, I always make them too dry. I came into some beautiful chops, and decided I was going to do it right and put the time in to brine these bad boys. What a difference! They were flavorful, juicy, and a great addition to our Sunday night rotation.
