Ingredients
- 4 thickly sliced boneless pork loin chops (1 - 1 1/2" thick)
- olive oil cooking spray (or a few tablespoons of olive oil to brush on)
Seasoning Mix:
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Heat grill to 350ºF.
- Wash and pat dry the pork chops. Take the olive oil based cooking spray and spray both sides of the pork. (This is a trick I like to use to keep the flavors and juices rocking with my grilled chicken and pork.)
- In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning mix.
- Take the seasoning mix and cover both sides of the pork chops.
- Place chops on the center (or where it is the hottest) of the grill and allow to cook 2 minutes, flip, and cook 2 more minutes.
- Move the pork chops to the side of the grill (over indirect heat) and cook for 8 minutes on one side with grill lid closed. Flip the pork chops, then cook 8 minutes on the other side with lid closed. The pork chops are done when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. (There will be a blush of pink inside, but they will be tender and juicy!)
- Remove pork chops from grill, place them on a plate and cover with foil for 5 minutes before serving. (Covering with foil continues the cooking process and really seals in the juices and flavors.)
- Serve with your favorite side dishes.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes
- *You shouldn't need to grease the grill grates first if they are to temperature.
- *If you don't have garlic salt, use garlic powder and salt to equal 1 teaspoon.
- *Add a teaspoon or two of brown sugar if you like your spice rub to have a little sweet taste. The sugar will caramelize on the grill and be delicious.
