Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces bone-in pork chops, thick cut (1-2” thick) Use thick-cut chops for juicy texture.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp paprika You can substitute with smoked paprika if desired.
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil For coating the pork chops.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill with the cover closed to medium-high heat (about 400°F) for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and coat them with vegetable oil.
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients together and apply the spice mixture to both sides and edges of the pork chops.
Grilling
  1. Place the pork chops on the hot grill and leave them alone for 5–7 minutes, or until they release from the grill grate easily.
  2. Using tongs, turn pork chops 1/4 turn to create cross grill marks and grill for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  3. Flip the pork chops and grill the second side for 2–3 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
  4. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, avoid rushing the cooking process, preheat the grill, and allow the chops to rest after cooking.
