Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (around 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F for grilling or set the broiler to high).
2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt.
3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then brush both sides of each chop lightly with olive oil.
4. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, pressing gently to help the spices adhere.
5. If grilling: Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). For broiling: Place the pork chops on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil 4-6 inches from the heat source. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove the pork chops from the heat and drizzle them with lemon juice. Let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
7. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
