Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops

Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops

Fiona Haynes
Be sure to trim even the leanest pork chops of any remaining fat. The spice mixture seals in the moisture so you can enjoy lower fat yet succulent pork chops bursting with flavor.

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 4-5 ounce 1/2-3/4 inch boneless pork loin chops, trimmed of all visible fat

Preparation:

Combine spices in a small bowl using a small whisk. Rub spice mixture on both sides of each pork chop. Transfer chops to a dish large enough to accommodate chops in one layer, and cover; or place pork chops in a gallon-size resealable storage bag and lay flat on a plate. Refrigerate and allow spices to penetrate the chops for 6-8 hours.

Preheat broiler. Place chops on a lightly oiled broiler rack and broil 5 minutes each side until done. These work equally well on the grill.

Not Bad!!!, Member mrseliciaross

This recipe was pretty good. My only suggestion is to add a little more brown sugar so the other spices don't cause and overkill to the recipe. Also, the recipe doesn't tell you at what heat to broil the chops it only tells you 5 min on each side. We grilled them, so a temp wasn't needed but if you don't grill them that info may be helpful to you.
