Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece large yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then rub both sides evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the pork chops to the crock pot.
Step 4
Thinly slice the yellow onion and scatter it over the pork chops in the crock pot. Add the minced garlic as well.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and hot sauce, then pour it over the pork chops and onions.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 5 hours or until the pork chops are tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork.
Step 7
About 10 minutes before serving, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops hot with the thickened sauce spooned over them. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
