Cook pork chops to an internal temperature of 145°F, then rest them for 3 minutes. They'll be slightly pink in the center, juicy, and perfectly safe to eat.

Don't overcook them, pull at 145°F. A quick brine, a hot sear, and a few minutes of rest all help. Thicker, bone-in chops also stay juicier than thin ones.
