Using a quick cook method with high heat is the optimal way to grill chops to keep them juicy and tender. I like to pull them off the grill just a few degrees shy of 145F since they'll continue to cook a bit while resting. I also suggest making sure you're using thick cut pork chops.
How to Keep Pork Chops from Drying Out? Brine Them! After you bring your pork chops home, time to brine! Brining pork chops is one of the best ways way to guarantee a juicy cooked pork chop.
