Step 1

Pat dry pork chops with paper towels.

Step 2

Brush pork chops with olive oil; set aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.

Step 4

Rub the dry mix all over the pork chops. Transfer pork chops to a resealable bag or mixing bowl; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, and up to 24 hours.

Step 5

Preheat an outdoor grill to 400˚F - about medium to medium-high. Rub your grill grates with oil.

Step 6

Remove pork chops from bag. Spray with cooking spray or add a drizzle of olive oil.

Step 7

Transfer pork chops to grill; grill, covered, for 7 to 10 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145˚F. Do not overcook. Please use an instant read thermometer to check for doneness. Thicker pork chops will need longer to cook.

Step 8

Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve.
