For an even deeper flavor, add a bay leaf or a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the brine. Be sure to pat the pork chops completely dry after brining for better searing. Rest the cooked pork chops for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
