Love your content Mr Kent. I've tried a number of recipes and techniques from your channel and all of them were a big hit with me and the family.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

So glad everyone is enjoying

The best pronunciation guide I ever heard: worce (like 'force') ster (like 'stir') shire (like 'sheer'). Worce-stir-sheer. :)

[@mr_big_pea_pea4013]

Smoked Chops are always good if you think you’ll have leftovers for a few days. Grilling is a Favorite if you have a great dry rub to apply. In my opinion these are my options.

[@Last_Chance.]

I remember when y'all had 1500 subs. Im so happy for y'all's success. Y'all are great people. God bless y'all

We thank you for being a long time viewer, God bless you

[@davinoc8559]

I always love your vids. I must confess, my favorite part of this one wasn't the excellent cooking. It was when you and the pups were in the tent during the rain. It just looked like a loving family of pups hanging with dad. So wonderful. You are really living the life.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Such a sweet sound to the rain hitting on that canvas

[@dannylancaster8706]

I have tried to explain to some folks around here what you are saying about thick verses thin they think because its a pack of pork chops for $3 its a good deal thanks for sharing this video.

[@bobbymcquoid6791]

You had me at Pork Chops.. always enjoy your videos.. thank you Rollins family for making the people of the world feel like nieghbors.. Respect as always from Canada 🇨🇦

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Bobby so much

[@user-od8qj3be8m]

When we butcher a hog. we generally cut our pork chops about an inch think. This winter, and matanza time. We will go for the thicker pork chops. Of course with the bonus of your great sauce additives. Loving your videos so keep them coming our way!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks for watching

[@christophermitchell6307]

Now that's what you call pork chops with the thickness of them and they looked absolutely delicious as always kent. I hope that head supervisor cletus was happy with the cooking method. When it rains ☔ here in Scotland, we call that "typical Scottish weather" 😆. Enjoy the rest of your week guys 🙏❤️.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Will do, we need some more of that rain, 106 here today

[@christophermitchell6307]

​@@CowboyKentRollinsI think everyone should help you guys in 🙏preying for more rain☔ so fingers crossed🤞 it happens soon.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

We sure hope so, a break from this heat wave would be nice

[@BishopWalters12]

The man, the myth, the legend does it again. 👍

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks for watching

[@aeonise]

Mr. Rollins, I love a big thick chop, but I must defend the thin ones! They're perfect for both a quick pan-fried meal when you haven't much time and putting a lovely parmesan crust on before pan- or deep-frying. You definitely have to be quick with them, though, and avoid over-cooking them since they dry out easily.

[@tubesteaktoo]

I agree, even if you want a quick-grill ... I marinated some thin-cut chops that my girlfriend bought in teriyaki sauce for about two hours and grilled them on our gas grill that doesn't put out a lot of BTUs because it's a cheapy ... they turned out wonderful, the sugar in the teriyaki helped develop a nice char around the edges of the chops too.

[@IntenseAngler]

Boy oh boy Kent, I thought for sure that Shannon was gonna lose it when you jumped up on that stool! Good thing you didn't go for the double backflip, haha 😉

[@guybowers9094]

I watched your video on the pan seared pork chops some time ago, and those were the best I've ever had. They were great with the sauce on them. And now. I will need to give these a try as well, they look delicious

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Hope you enjoy

[@rodneyclayton4108]

I love the look and size of those porkchops! Both methods look like they will make some fine eating.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

I think so too!

[@Awood2207]

Love the videos Kent. Been a fan of yours since your days on Chopped. You bring so much positivity to myself and millions of others around you. Sending love from Missouri.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks so much, was a great show and a great crew to work with

[@dcselwitz]

Fantastic! Thank you both! Always enjoy your videos/postings. Love you guys!

[@scottsharp9823]

I made some boudin stuffed pork chops in the smoker and they were fantastic. Next is a green chile stuffing

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Now that does sound good

[@praetorxyn]

I did that dry brine pork chop recipe you put out some time ago and it was delicious. I dry brine most everything, so anything recommending a dry brine is my go to.

[@richardleonardsr.]

Kent, you cook like a master chef! It reminds me of my dads cooking at the cottage! I really miss him.

[@vr6410]

I agree with you Kent. I put pork steaks on the grill and they're absolutely delicious and tender but you can't put them on direct heat until the very end and they turned out extremely tender also. Cletus tried to be the star of the show today. How wonderful is that. I love to see Cletus and all the pups pigs for 10 years old. Wow he's up there and yes he does have manners. Thank you for the dance and the recipe. God bless. See you in the next video..

[@onejohn2.26]

If you are a Christian, why are you eating pork?

[@mr.vargas5648]

Cletus is such a good boy telling Kent how to cook his meal.

[@johnwaltoniii6856]

Yes sir and being a neighbor pit/grill master along with a trained french chef. I can only imagine what you're cooking Sir 🤤

[@MrsinTN]

My gosh…that’s a GREAT price on those beautiful thick pork chops!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Yep it was a good deal

[@itsjustspecial3231]

Greetings from a regular UK follower, Kent and Shannon. Thanks for your great channel (and books). I live in one of England's many shire counties - Leicestershire which is simply pronounced lestersheer. In the same way, Worcestershire is simple - woostersheer. The trouble is, I've never seen pork chops that size here. I'll have chat with the butcher!

[@johngjacobi]

Made the foil chops with my son last night for the whole family. Your fig/W sauce was fantastic. Thank you!

[@bobsontag7931]

Grocery store pork chops are usually 3/4" thick if you're lucky. I've bought thick cut from Schawn's and Omaha Steaks. They are about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" thick and keep juices so much better. Thank you and Shannon and the pups for the fun and educational videos. Papa Bob in Washington, MO.

[@fredburban8219]

I have the Meat Guy at Sam's Club cut mine at 1 3/4" . I have to purchase the entire pack but ant a very good price.

[@NDFlyFisher]

Great video. I’ve always struggled with pork chops. Going to give these two methods a try this weekend. Thanks!

[@techauthor324]

Wish l could could give this more than 1 up-thumb. Thank you Kent and Shan. Enjoy the rain, l sent it special delivery, cos we've got a surplus in England at the moment.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks for that, keep on sending it is sure hot here

[@bhhenrygroup-kw941]

Nice job on the video! I learn something new every time I watch your cowboy cooking skills. Keep it up and I'll keep watching!!👍

[@pathoffman6537]

First time watching your videos but not the last. Loved the cooking presentation with two different grills, sauces look delicious, vegetables were a bonus, thanks for the big salute to our veterans 🇺🇸, the jig on the stool was priceless & at the end sharing a little treat with those pets was very thoughtful. God bless you & keep on cooking. 👍😎

[@Heugh1]

You the man Kent. Going to try this recipe this weekend. Enjoyable videos every time guys

They both looked amazing! If only I had a Hasty Bake smoker! Thanks again Shan, Kent and the pups!

[@duaneslack9820]

Looks great!! Gonna try this for sure! I purchased your mesquite seasoning and did a rub on a couple of beef filets, WOW they were so good!!! Thank you and Shan for your videos.

[@floyd4335]

Kent those pork chops looked so delicious! My mother cooked pork chops so long that you could have used them to resole your work boots. Dad and I called them "chainsaw pork chops" because it took a chainsaw to cut them.😊

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Yep my mother was the same way, took a lot of gravy, but we were glad to have it

[@MLukacs]

Kent and Shan, thank you for another great installment. I watched this while eating left over pork from the grill. I agree with keeping the cuts thick. I've not gone as thick as you show here, but I'll give 'er a try. Also, I 've found that your Rib Rub goes well on grilled pork. We will definitely try these recipes. Both sauces look delicious. I can see how the sweetness in the figs work with the pork. Last, I usually use some apple wood with pork. Thanks again for the wonderful ideas! God bless you and your family.

[@robertjason6885]

Cowboy Kent… rockin’ that pork. Just awesome cooking, sir.

[@jamisongbj]

Mr Rollins, I love watching you cook and all the antics. As someone that raises pigs though, I have to say that those pale chops don't do pork any justice. I'm down here in North Texas and would be more than happy to provide you with some proper pork!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks

Made the grilled pork chops tonight- subbed peache preserves for the fig. They were fabulous, we paired them with grilled corn on the cob, a green salad and a Sauvignon Blanc-💯

I can watch your videos every day. You enjoy it so much. And your dance at th he end and thank the veterans are heartfelt.

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

This is an awesome video recipe on pork chops. We always have at least 1.5 inches to 1.75 inches on the thickness with a local meat market who knows how to cut them up just right. Cannot wait to try the two sauces, the fun of your videos is the extra sauces that really bring out new flavors. At Christmas our family tradition is stuffed pork chops. Maybe you can offer ideas on that offering too. I purchased the food thermometer and use it on about every cook now. It really makes a difference getting the perfect cook. Nothing comes close to your videos Kent and Shannon.

[@leonreinhart5176]

Awesome channel, been watching for more than 10 years now. Love the low cost ideas too. God Bless you.

So good it is

[@ianwalls4976]

Thankyou for an amazing episode

[@58limited]

I love thick pork chops. Best I've had was at a restaurant near Paduca, Ky. It was 2" thick. I buy mine from Wild Fork - 1 1/2" free range heirloom (Berkshire) pork; a little pricey but worth it. The meat is red not light pink or "the other white meat." I usually cook using the reverse sear method. Half inch of fat is just right for me.

[@andyW1911]

Oh Lord, you should let him be happy Cowboy for another Century.

[@henriyoung3895]

Great videos. You are the Boss. 1. When I cook pork on the stove, I always cover the pan. Can add a little water too. Speeds up cooking. 2. My mom always served Applesauce with all pork. The fig sauce sounds aroii Aroii. Love from Thailand.

[@videobyallen]

Thanks Kent! I made the wrapped version tonight and it turned out great. I had 1" thick chops so i onlg got them to 145 before i unwrapped them. After grilling them over open flame to get some color i basted them with a peach burbon sauce with some garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce in it. It was amazing! Perfectly tender & juicy.

[@tommyroberts867]

Never go over 145. Kent's chops were overcooked

[@WilliamStout27]

It all looks great Mr. Rollins! Marinating in Dr Pepper prior to works as well as an addition.

[@DonPandemoniac]

That was such a hoot to watch! A cooking comparison turned into a mini adventure movie.

[@dhansel4835]

I just got a Pit Boss 1150 pellet grill/smoker. The day after Thanksgiving Lowe's had it on sale with a $ 500.00 off the retail price with FREE assembly and delivery. That grill works great. It even has WIFI and blue tooth which lets me change the temp when I am in the house or running around town.

[@AryDontSurf]

Beautiful pork chops. Thanks, as always, Kent and the missus! Especially for that baked bean recipe, I've made some money with that one, lol.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

So good they are, we have them often

[@Keith80027]

That does look wonderful and bet it taste great too. I love fig jam and should use more of it. Loved the cow music behind you too.

[@timhickman9911]

Gotta try both of those! They look down right delicious! 🤤. Another good one to use is Homemade apple butter. I use it straight, just warm it up on the grill as you bring the chops to temp and then spread it on like any other Q sauce. Makes a great fall meal with grilled acorn squash with Butter and cinnamon baked in it.

[@haleycook591]

Love your videos!!! Just bought one of your cookbooks and towels with your quotes and smoky seasoning can’t wait til they get here. I cook for a branding crew and I have needed your cookbook to help with ideas. God bless!!! Ps y’all need to come out with a dish/eat wear, mixing bowl line.

Thank you so much for the chorizo recipe..my latino daughter in law absolutely loves it an they made the burgers..you made me a Rock Star! Even though I like country.lol.thanks a bunch

[@BigCarmine]

The ONLY reason to buy thin cut pork is because you don't know how to cook it. Pork is not a set-it-and-forget-it meat. It takes a tiny bit more effort (not much, but just a bit). Another great one Kent!!!

[@scottiwalker1380]

Thanks for your show!! Never would have thought about fig preserves with garlic and Worcestershire sauce as one to use on potk. What about on Beef Steak?? Love watching you, Shan and all the dogs ❤️😊 loved the Cows cooling off in the pond❤ God Bless 🙏
