SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOPS



Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops image

Dry rubs are also a terrific way to season pork chops. Select chops of close to an inch in thickness - nothing flimsy - then grill them over steady medium heat. We opt for rib chops over the center-cut variety when cooking outdoors because their greater fat content helps keep them moist, and we always prefer bone-in chops for their juiciness. You might add a barbecue sauce on the side with these, but we relish their crispy surface unvarnished.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Pork Chop Willy's Grilling Rub
3 tablespoons sweet paprika, preferably Spanish
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt

3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Six to eight 10- to 11-ounce bone-in pork rib chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
Vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • At least 1 and up to 8 hours before you plan to grill the pork chops, prepare the dry rub, combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the chops with the spice mixture, place them in a large plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate.
  • Fire up the grill, bringing the heat to medium (4 to 5 seconds with the hand test).
  • Remove the chops from the refrigerator and let them sit covered at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
