- Season the pork chops with the dry rub and give the rub 10-15 minutes to soak into the meat.
- Slather the pork chops with a thin coating of mayonnaise. [Optional Step]

Notes
The mayo slather is a little something extra I like to do that makes my chops special but is a completely optional step.
What is absolutely not optional is brining. Brining is the key step to grilling juicy thick cut pork chops.
