Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil to coat evenly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. This will be your dry rub.

Step 4

Generously season both sides of the pork chops with the dry rub, pressing the seasoning into the meat.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the dark brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, hot sauce, and smoked paprika to form a glaze. Set this mixture aside.

Step 6

Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). Flip only once to avoid drying them out.

Step 7

In the last 3 minutes of cooking, brush both sides of the pork chops with the glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the heat and top each one with a small knob (about 1/4 tablespoon) of butter. Cover with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy their wicked flavor!
