Once the pork chops are done brining, remove them from the liquid, pat them dry with a paper towel and season them for the grill.
Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops. In general, plan on 7 minutes of cooking for every half inch thickness, including searing time. Therefore, if you have a 1 1/2 – inch thick pork chops, plan on 20-25 minutes. Make sure to check the internal temperature of your meat before eating. The ideal temperature of pork should be 145-150 degrees Fahrenheit for the greatest amount of flavor. To check for doneness, use a digital instant read thermometer. This will work for different cuts of pork chops.
For best results, rest the pork for 2-3 minutes with aluminum foil tented over the top to help retain the heat.
