How long should you brine pork chops?
Pork chops can be brined anywhere from 8-12 hours in the refrigerator. If brined any longer, the proteins in the meat will break down too much and the chops will taste too salty. Start
brining your pork chops in the morning so that they will be ready for cooking at dinner time!
Do you rinse meat after brining?
You do not need to rinse meat after brining. Simply pat dry with paper towels and proceed with the recipe.
What are some other pork chop rubs that you recommend?
For a smoky pork rub: prepare rub as directed, using smoked paprika in place of regular paprika. For a spicy pork rub: add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to rub mixture. For a sweet pork rub: add 3 tablespoons brown sugar to rub mixture.
