🤔 Will Thin Pork Chops Dry Out?

Because of their thinness, it can be easy to overcook or dry out thin pork chops. But a lot of these recipes have special techniques to keep the pork juicy on the inside.

According to Wholesome Farmhouse Recipes, the best way to keep pork chops from drying out is to sear the meat first and then finish cooking the pork in the oven. Marinating pork chops ahead of time is also a great strategy. Find more tips and tricks in their guide for cooking Thin Pork Chops Without Drying Them Out.
