[quote=Anonymous]Liberally add salt and let the chops sit for about 1-2 hours so brine works in. Heat oven to about 300F.  Just before putting into oven, cover chops with pepper and seasonings.....I like a simple. Italian mix.  Pick a pan you can put into the oven (e.g. cast iron or something).  Coat lightly with oil and cool the chops for about 12 minutes....it depends on the thickness. You can cover lightly with foil to reduce mess.  Turn the oven on to broil.  Boril the chops until you get a fantastic brown on the outside.  If there are any fatty parts, broil until they turn slightly crispy.  Flips the chops over during broiling so they each side gets browned.  You don't need to broil for a really long time, you're just trying to get a maillard reaction on the surface.

Take the pan out, remove the chops and put them on the side. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of honey, about half a cup of apple cider vinegar, and about 2-3 table spoons of butter to the pan.  Heat the pan on the stove top and scrape off all of the good stuff at the bottom of the pan after the broil. Heat on about medium until about 1/3 of the liquid has boiled off.  Add the chops back in and keep tilting the pan to the side while continuously spooning the honey, butter, apple cider vinegar liquid over the chops. Keep cooking until the liquid thickens and you get a nice concentrated reduction...

Best pork chops ever. They never turn out dry for me. I don't know the exact ratios for everything because I just cook...if it is too sour from the vinegar, add a bit more honey and butter. Use your judgement.  The point of the baking steps is just to to try to get the center of a thick cut of pork slightly below done temp. The broiling part adds tons of flavor because you get a nice maillard coating on the surface. After broiling, your chop should still slightly undercooked in the middle.  Then when you add back into the pan with the reduction it should finish and come out perfectly.  There are no exact procedures here....use your judgement.  Chops are one of my favorite cuts of meat. Love them often .ore than steaks.[/quote]
