How to Make Barbecue Rubbed Pork Chops

1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps them brown better.
2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Rub the spice mixture generously onto both sides of the pork chops.
4. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray if desired.
5. Place pork chops in the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
6. Reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking for 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
7. Remove pork chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as cheese grits!
