- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 10- ounce thick cut bone-in pork chops
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat (450° to 550°).
- Mix the olive oil with 2 tablespoons of the rub on a plate until combined, and dredge the pork in the seasoning rub.
- Let sit for 20 minutes and then place directly onto a hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until grill marks have formed and reached an internal temperature of 135°-140°.
- Remove the pork from the grill and rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they’re resting.
- How to Reheat: I like to add the pork chops with a little bit of chicken stock to a large frying pan covered in foil and cook it in the oven at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until hot. This will help keep it moist. You can also re-grill them on high heat (450° to 550°) for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until hot.
- How to Store: These grilled pork chops will refrigerate well covered in plastic, lasting up to 4 days. In addition, this will also freeze well covered in plastic for up to 2 months.
- It’s always important to rest any cooked meat so that the juices can soak back into it, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Reheating your pork will 100% cause it to increase in internal temperature, most likely start to overcook it and make it less juicy and tougher.
- You may need to add more oil and spice blend to the plate after a few pork chops have been coated to ensure the remaining uncoated pork chops are correctly seasoned.
