Berkshire Pork Chops

Juicy 1-½ inch thick bone-in pork chops. Bone-in pork chops tend to have more flavor, and the bone helps keep the meat from drying out while cooking. Want a way to make them extra juicy and tender? Try a brine. Then prepare them either baked, fried, or grilled.

Pork chops come from the loin, which runs from the pig’s hip to its shoulder.
