Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork chops (bone-in)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Ignite the grill to a robust medium-high temperature around 400-450°F, creating optimal searing conditions.
- Create a zesty seasoning blend by combining salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar in a mixing vessel.
- Massage pork chops with olive oil, ensuring complete surface coverage, then generously distribute the spice mixture across every inch of the meat.
- Position seasoned chops onto preheated grill grates, allowing them to cook approximately 4-5 minutes per side, developing a caramelized exterior and maintaining juicy internal texture.
- Monitor internal meat temperature, aiming for a precise 145°F to guarantee perfect doneness and food safety.
- While grilling, craft a complementary sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then incorporating Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth.
- Allow sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, developing rich flavor complexity and slight reduction.
- Once chops reach desired temperature, remove from grill and lavishly brush with prepared sauce moments before serving.
- Let meat rest briefly to redistribute internal juices, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor retention.
Notes
- Select thick-cut pork chops for juicier, more flavorful results that prevent drying out during grilling.
- Allow pork chops to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before seasoning to ensure even cooking and better absorption of spices.
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting cayenne pepper for heat preference or adding smoked paprika for deeper flavor complexity.
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately check internal temperature, preventing overcooking and maintaining tender, succulent pork chops.
