Grilled Pork Chops

1/4 cup kosher salt

1/4 cup sugar

2 cups water

2 cups ice water

4 center-cut pork rib chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)

2 tablespoons Watkins Grapeseed Oil, Regular Flavor

Basic Rub

3 tablespoons Watkins Paprika

1 teaspoon each Watkins Garlic Powder, Watkins Onion Powder, Watkins Cumin

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1 teaspoon Watkins Black Pepper

1 teaspoon Watkins Steak and Chop Seasoning*, ground, or to taste

In a large saucepan, combine salt, sugar and 2 cups water; cook and stir over medium heat until salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat. Add 2 cups ice water to cool brine to room temperature.

Place pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag; add cooled brine. Seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible; turn to coat chops. Place in a 13x9-in. baking dish. Refrigerate 8-12 hours.

Remove chops from brine; rinse and pat dry. Discard brine. Brush both sides of chops with oil. In a small bowl, mix rub ingredients; rub over pork chops. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Grill chops on an oiled rack, covered, over medium heat 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
