Why This Recipe Works

During our testing, we discovered a few simple secrets to the juiciest, most flavorful pork chops recipe: Choose tender and flavorful bone-in rib loin or center-cut loin chops and brine them to pump up their flavor and lock in their moisture; grill one side over high heat and the other side over moderate heat to allow the chops to cook through without burning the exterior; and apply a quick but flavor-packed spice rub before grilling.
