Michael Lomonaco warns that marinating pork chops for too long can dry out the meat, extracting its natural juices and resulting in dry, tough chops.
Excessive marinating can cause the meat to begin pre-cooking if the marinade is too acidic, leading to a tough texture when cooking.
For best results, marinate pork chops in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, making sure to avoid excessive liquid to preserve juiciness.
The USDA states that pork can be safely marinated for 3-5 days, but recipes suggest limiting marinating to 24 hours or less for optimal results.
