Ingredients
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
- 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.
- Mix ingredients for the BBQ Rub together.
- 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.
- Broil for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.
- 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.
