These flavorful grilled pork chops are perfect for a weekend dinner party or quick and easy family dinner any night of the week. The rub is a perfect combo of sweet, salty, savory and spicy and is made with common pantry ingredients. For best results use thick chops.
In small bowl combine all dry rub ingredients, mix well.
Generously rub and press spice mix into each pork chop.
Place chops in single layer and rest for 30-40 minutes at room temp.
Oil BBQ grates to help prevent food from sticking.
Preheat grill to medium high heat.
Grill chops for 3-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until juices run clear. Flip only once - twice max.
Remove from grill and tent loosely with foil for 5 minutes for maximum juiciness.
Notes
Avoid overcooking pork chops; a hint of pink in whole meat is safe. If using an instant read thermometer aim for no more than 145°F/63°C (USDA). Bone-in pork chops work well with this recipe and are typically a little juicier than boneless.
