There's a couple of grilled recipes that our little family of two can dominate from start to finish in under 30 minutes.

This is one of them.

These southern glazed pork chops are sweet and spicy, just a few simple ingredients, and then tossed on the grill for a few minutes.

This sounds like a dumbed-down kind of thing, because it's a dumbed-down recipe, it's hard to mess up.

And that's perfect for a beginner griller like myself.

Now that I said that, I have totally jinxed myself next time I am attempting the dang grill.

But seriously, this is an easy recipe.

Glazed Pork Chop Ingredients:

The glaze is made up of paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar.

You can definitely swap the brown sugar out with coconut sugar for a refined sugar free alternative that tastes just as great.

I like this coconut sugar for this southern glazed pork chop recipe.

6 thick pork chops
coconut sugar, or brown sugar
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
paprika

Grilling Directions:

You simply rub the spices on the pork chops, let the chops chill, and then grill the pork chops on the grill.

I like to let the pork chops marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but an hour or two is even better.

It just depends on how much time you have to wait.

We grill these southern glazed pork chops over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side. Use your best judgment because all grills vary.

Make sure the internal temperature of your southern glazed pork chops reaches 145*F before taking them off the grill. We like to use a meat fork that measures the temperature for you, like this digital fork thermometer.

Combine the brown sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
Rub the dry mixture onto both sides of the pork chops.
Allow the rub to turn into a glaze by allowing the pork chops to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Grill pork chops thoroughly and enjoy!

How to Store Leftovers and Reheat Extra Pork Chops:

Store your leftover and cooled to room temperature pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.

To reheat, place pork chops on a microwave-safe plate with a loose-fitting cover to avoid splatter in your microwave.

Microwave on high for 60-120 seconds, depending on how hot you like your leftover chops and how thick your pieces of meat are.
