Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and spices.
  • Place pork chops in a large Ziploc bag. Pour sugar-spice mixture over pork chops.
  • Seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible. Shake bag and rub pork chops until the meat is evenly covered with the sugar-spice mixture.
  • Refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
  • Remove pork chops from refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Shake off excess sugar, and place pork chops on the grill, away from the direct heat.
  • Grill on high heat for 7-10 minutes total, until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees F at the center of the meat. Turn chops on the grill as needed to keep the sugar coating from burning.
  • Rest pork chops for 3 minutes under loosely tented aluminum foil.
