Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure the rub adheres well.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar.

Step 4

Rub both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle and press the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.

Step 6

Let the spice-rubbed pork chops sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 7

Once the grill is hot, place the pork chops on the grill. Cover the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until grill marks form.

Step 8

Lower the grill to medium heat and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush each pork chop lightly with apple cider vinegar for added moisture and a tangy finish.

Step 10

Remove the pork chops from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or grilled corn on the cob.
