Spice rub
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon hot smoked paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)*
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons celery salt
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For spice rub:

  • For glaze:
  • Mix first 8 ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, whisking until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
  • Do ahead: Spice rub and glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store spice rub at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate glaze. Rewarm glaze just until pourable before using.
  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sprinkle spice rub generously over both sides of pork chops (about 1/2 tablespoon per side), pressing to adhere.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chicken thighs with the skin on for best results.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely thawed before cooking.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking to help the glaze stick.
  • Use a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat to cook the chicken. This will help prevent the glaze from burning.
  • Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Make the glaze while the chicken is cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Brush the glaze on the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking to caramelize it.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.
