    Broiled Pork Chops Cut up on a plate with green beans this recipe

    These pork loin chops are seasoned with a homemade spicy BBQ rub. There is an option not to make it spicy in the recipe card. After they are seasoned, we broil them in the oven for about 15 minutes.

    🥘 Ingredients

    ingredients

    Boneless Pork Chops: Pork chops are cheap and easy to find.

    Light Brown Sugar: Adds a slight sweetness to pork chops for a sweet BBQ flavor.

    Salt: Brings out the flavors of the seasoning and the meat.

    Chili Powder: Part of BBQ dry rub.

    Black Pepper: Part of BBQ dry rub.

    Smoked Paprika: I love using smoked paprika to give it a slightly smoky flavor, but regular paprika works!

    Garlic Powder: Part of BBQ dry rub.

    Chipotle Powder: Totally optional. A little goes a long way in adding spice to the pork chops.

    Olive Oil: Helps to keep the pork chops moist while cooking.

    🔪 How to Make Pork Chops in the Oven

    Steps to Make Broiled Pork Chops

    1. Make Dry Rub: Mix the ingredients for the BBQ rub together.

    2. Season Pork Chop: Completly cover the pork chop in the rub. Place them on the baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Don't season the chops on the baking sheet. Loose brown sugar will burn in the oven.

    3. Broil: Broil for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.

    4. Rest: Remove the pork from the oven once the center of each pork chop reaches 145F. Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    🧀 Variations

    Use chipotle powder in the BBQ rub to give the pork chops a little spice, or leave it out for a traditional BBQ flavor.

    🥡 How to Store

    Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.

    🙋‍♀️ FAQ

    How can I make sure my pork chops don't dry out?

    Pork chops are a very lean cut of meat and can be overcooked easily. Use a meat thermometer to check the pork chops after 13-14 minutes in the oven. Pork should be cooked to a minimum temperature of 145F. Smaller chops will take less time!

    Pin Recipe

    25-minute Broiled Pork Chops are an easy and simple weeknight dinner! Pair them with steamed veggies and mac and cheese for a classic weeknight dinner.

    • Total Time: 27 minutes

    Ingredients

    Scale

    BBQ Rub

    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • ½ tablespoon salt
    • ½ tablespoon chili powder
    • ½ tablespoon pepper
    • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder (optional, leave out if you don't want spice)

     

    Broiled Pork Chops

    • 4 boneless pork chops 1-inch thick, about 6oz each
    • BBQ Rub
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    Instructions

    1. Arrange the top oven rack, so it's ⅔ of the way up from the bottom of the oven. Turn the broiler setting to high and let the oven warm up for a few minutes. 
    2. Mix ingredients for the BBQ Rub together. 
    3. Cover both sides and the edges of the pork chops in the rub. Place them onto the baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Don't season the chops on the baking sheet. Loose brown sugar will burn in the oven. 
    4. Broil for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.
    5.  Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pork loins are very lean. You don't want a drop of liquid escaping.
