Between Jen’s, over at Mess Hall to Bistro, pork kabobs and Kathryn’s, over at Talking Dollar and Cents, crispy pork chops, I was drawn to grilling up some pork this week.
Juicy Grilled Pork Chops
Of course, since it is early in grilling season, I had to make a brine for my pork chops. I feel like I have been going through withdraw from grilled meats that have been brining for two days. My poor brown sugar has been so ignored.
Brined Pork Chops
Juicy grilled pork chops are foolproof with this grilled brined pork chop recipe of brown sugar, salt, vinegar, and water prior to grilling. Start with 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of sea salt, 2 teaspoons of dry mustard, and 5 dashes of Tabasco.
Heat up 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and pour over dry ingredients.
Stir together and let sit for about 20 minutes to bring it to room temperature. Then grab your chops. I had a package of three chops. Adjust the above ingredients for more chops. You could probably go up to four chops with the above base ingredients. Double ingredients for more chops.
After 20 minutes, add four cups of water and 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Stir together.
Add chops to the container or place chops in a 
large Ziploc bag and pour the brine over top. Refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
When you pull the chops out of the brine, the meat will be white from the salt. Let the chops sit out for about 15 minutes before placing on the grill.

Thanks for inviting me over to the party. That brine idea sounds yummy.
Anything soaked in brown sugar must be good! Thanks for sharing. It is good to see someone using bone-in pork chops. No boneless on our farm 😉
I also like bone in pork chops! This will be made this week at our house. Since I was gone for a few days, my Hunk of Meat Monday is different this week. I am looking for people to share their ideas on how to make the best chicken wings. Let me know. Deep fry or bake?
I love a good marinade or brine! Thanks for hosting this link up party! I shared my Honey Mustard Chicken or Pork Marinade.

Yum! Looks great-have a great day!
Thanks for the invite to your Hunk of Meat Monday! I'm doing pineapple/cumin pork chops later this week, I don't think they are blogged, but they will be, they're a fave!
I just found your blog. Your porky looks delish! Can't wait to try some of your recipes out. Thanks for hosting this.
We grilled rib-eyes on Sunday, but I didn't do anything fancy to them. Hubby likes his in its natural state 😉 They were good though! Have you ever gone to Sams and bought their marinated turkey tenderloins? They are delish on the grill! I will have to thaw one out and try to get a post on for next week!
This is my first visit to your blog and I love it! I linked up my Healthy Sloppy Joe recipe – not quite a hunk of meat, I know, but it's what I shared this week! 🙂
I signed up to follow you, and I'd love it if you joined me at Create With Joy!
