Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. This will be your dry rub.
Generously season both sides of the pork chops with the dry rub, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the dark brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, hot sauce, and smoked paprika to form a glaze. Set this mixture aside.
Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). Flip only once to avoid drying them out.
In the last 3 minutes of cooking, brush both sides of the pork chops with the glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly. Be careful not to let it burn.
Remove the pork chops from the heat and top each one with a small knob (about 1/4 tablespoon) of butter. Cover with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy their wicked flavor!
