The grilled pork chop is a classic. It pairs well with lots of different flavors and has plenty of flavor on its own. But it can also be the most leathery piece of meat you have ever tried to eat. That’s because pork is generally bred to be fairly lean and is often overcooked. To do it right, buy thick chops and brine them, then grill them over indirect heat.
