Brined Pork Chops

Brining is a great technique to infuse flavor into meat and help it retain moisture and not dry out. Serve with whipped sweet potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts or another favorite vegetable side dish.

4 cups cool water
¼ cups kosher salt
¼ cups raw honey
1 cloves garlic smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
5 whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaves

Thanks to the previous commenter, I knew only to brine them for 4 hours. And they turned out PERFECT. These were probably the best pork chops I've ever had.

This was a nice alternative to breaded fried pork chops. They were really salty (next time I would soak in the brine for closer to the 4 hour mark rather than 6 hours) but that satisfied some of my salt fiend children. Not an every day recipe, but one to toss in as a treat.
