How to Make Chili Rub For Pork

  1. Trim excess fat from pork chops and score edges at 1-inch intervals.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients: 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened.
  4. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops, ensuring even coating.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates.
  6. Grill pork chops for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and juices run clear. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
  7. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
