Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Liquid and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth
Instructions
- Ignite the grill to a robust medium-high temperature, creating an ideal cooking surface for succulent pork chops.
- Craft a flavor-packed seasoning blend by combining salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a compact mixing vessel.
- Massage the pork chops with a light coating of olive oil, ensuring complete coverage before generously applying the carefully prepared spice mixture.
- Position the seasoned pork chops onto the preheated grill, allowing them to sizzle and develop a beautiful caramelized exterior for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Monitor the internal temperature, aiming for the perfect 145°F which guarantees juicy, perfectly cooked meat.
- Simultaneously, create a luxurious glaze by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, introducing brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard.
- Let the glaze simmer and reduce for 2-3 minutes, developing a rich, complex flavor profile.
- Once the pork chops reach the desired temperature, remove them from the grill and generously brush with the warm, glossy glaze.
- Transfer the glazed pork chops to serving plates, allowing the aromatic seasonings and sweet-savory glaze to entice the senses.
- Serve immediately while the meat remains hot and the glaze glistens invitingly.
Notes
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting cayenne pepper for heat control, allowing personalized flavor intensity.
- Create a low-sodium version by reducing salt and using salt-free spice alternatives like herbs and salt-free seasoning mixes.
- Consider marinating pork chops for 30 minutes before grilling to enhance tenderness and deeper flavor penetration.
- Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a potential vegetarian-friendly glaze adaptation.
