Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375β400Β°F). If using an oven grill pan, preheat the oven to 400Β°F.
In a small bowl, combine the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the spice blend.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help the seasoning adhere better.
Brush each pork chop with olive oil on both sides, ensuring an even coat.
Sprinkle the prepared spice blend evenly over both sides of the pork chops, gently rubbing it in with your fingers to enhance the flavor penetration.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 6β7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the meat, until the internal temperature reaches 145Β°F (63Β°C). If using an oven grill pan, grill for the same time, turning once halfway through.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil, for about 3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Pair with a side of grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
