Barbecue Rubbed Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix paprika, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together in a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge pork chops in the spice mixture to coat and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Bake chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Warm Mango Salsa, recipe follows
• Preheat broiler.
• Rinse chops with cold water and pat dry. Place on foil-lined baking sheet and season with garlic salt and pepper. Rub with chili seasoning. Broil 4 minutes per side. Brush with BBQ sauce and broil 1 minute, turn, brush with more BBQ sauce and broil an additional 1 minute. Serve hot.
• Combine mangos and tomatoes in pan over heat. Squeeze in lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Break up the mangos with a spoon so they are consistent in size with the tomatoes. Heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Once heated through stir in chopped cilantro and serve with pork chops.

Steps:

• Combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Pat chops dry with a paper towel and evenly distribute dry ingredient mixture on front and back of each chop. With fingertips, lightly rub dry ingredient mixture into the chops on both sides.
• Place chops on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
• Remove rubbed chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• While chops are getting to room temperature, clean the grate of an outdoor gas grill and preheat to medium heat.
• When the grill is ready, lightly spray chops with avocado oil spray.
• Lightly oil the grill grates, place chops on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Rotate chops 90 degrees to create a criss-cross grill pattern and continue grilling for 3 minutes. Turn chops and grill until pork chops are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest under a foil tent, for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

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.
• Spray the chops with oil and transfer them to the grill. Grill for 18 to 20 minutes total. Turn onto each side twice, rotating the chops a half turn each time to get criss-cross grill marks. The chops are done when just a hint of pink remains at the center. Serve hot.
