Ingredients

  • 8 boneless pork chops about 1-inch thickness
  • 2 cups pickle juice
  • Grillo's Pickles Mild Pickle De Gallo optional

Instructions

To brine the pork chops

  • Place pork chops into a gallon sized plastic bag.
  • Add in 2 cups of leftover pickle juice. Make sure that all the pork chops are covered in the pickle juice.
  • Seal the bag and place it into the fridge for 2 hours.

To grill the pork chops

  • Preheat your grill to 400–450°F.
  • Place the pork chops directly over the heat.
  • Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, or until you see a nice sear with defined grill marks. Flip the chops.
  • Cook until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F when checked with a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
  • Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before slicing for the juice to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve with the Grillo's Pickle de Galllo if using

Notes

For the serving size, I did one pork chop per person.
