The highlight of my summer always includes a delicious Pork Chop on a stick from our local Pork Producer’s booth at the fair. There’s just something about biting into the tender, juicy pork chop with just the right amount of seasoning!

Now, you can make delicious, seasoned pork chops at home hot off your grill with this easy Pork Chop seasoning!

It’s a simple blend of spices that make a mouthwatering seasoning to give your pork chop an extra layer of savory flavor. It really is the best pork seasoning out there! I bet you even have all the spices in your pantry to make this easy seasoning blend!

Why You’ll Love this easy Pork Chop Seasoning!

  • You can whip this up in 2 minutes!
  • Make a big batch and have it on hand. In an airtight container or jar, it will last for up to two years, but it’s best when used within a year.
  • It will give your pork tons of extra flavor and only takes minutes to mix up.

Ingredients for Pork Chop Seasoning!

  • Garlic Powder – If you only have garlic salt on hand, cut back on the amount of kosher salt
  • Onion Powder – Adds some depth to the flavors
  • Kosher Salt – Or sea salt, will help break down the protein, can adjust if you are watching sodium intake.
  • Ground Black Pepper – Mix it up with white pepper. Pepper gives it the perfect amount of zip.
  • Smoked Paprika – You could use regular paprika, but we love the addition of smoky flavor.

Pro Tip!

Don’t feel like mixing up these ingredients each time you want this delicious pork seasoning? Make sure to buy a bottle of it on our shop!

Mix the Seasoning!

Grab a bowl and mix up your seasoning. That’s all you have to do to make it!

If you have extra seasoning, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to two years, but we recommend using it within a year.

How to Grill Pork Chops

  1. We recommend applying the seasoning to your pork chops and letting rest about 10 minutes before you are ready to cook them. Liberally season pork chops and then let them sit.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium heat. We like it about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The main thing is you don’t want a high temperature because cooking them at a high temperature will dry out the pork.
  3. Place the chops on the grill grate over direct heat and let cook for about 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pork chops, flip and grill for an additional 6 minutes.
  4. Remove from the grill when pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Cover with foil and let rest 3-5 minutes before enjoying. This will let the fibers of the meat relax and give you the ultimate juicy pork chop.

When should i season the pork?

The nice thing about this rub is you don’t have to do it far in advance. Apply the rub liberally to your pork and let it sit for about 10 minutes. You can prepare some other parts of your meal or preheat your grill while you wait! We love to eat Grilled Cauliflower with pork chops!


What Should the Internal Temperature of Pork Chops be?

One of the biggest complaints we hear is that pork is dry and chewy.
The easiest way to avoid this is to cook it to the correct temperature and to monitor the temperature using an instant read thermometer. Measure the temperature at the thickest part of the cut without touching any bone. For tender and delicious pork chops, prepare them to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Should I use bone-in pork chops or boneless pork chops?

This is really a personal preference. We like boneless because of the convenience with kids. With that being said, a bone-in chop can have a more attractive appearance and is often said to have the most flavor. This is because there is fat around the bone and the bone does a lot to keep the meat from drying out as it’s cooked. The main thing to notice is how thick your pork chop is cut. This can vary from 1/2” to 2” thickness. The thickness of your pork chop will make a large difference in how long you cook it.

How Long does Pork Chop Seasoning Last?

When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, this seasoning will last up to two years, but we recommend using it within a year for the best flavor.

What can I use Pork Seasoning on?

We shared how to put it on pork chops and grill them, but it’s amazing on so much more!
This spice rub is delicious on pan seared pork chops, baked pork chops, air fryer pork chops, pork tenderloin, pork loin, even chicken and fish!

What is the secret to moist pork chops?

Pork chops don’t have to be dry! Cook your pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. They might still have a little bit of a blush color in the center but they are safe to eat at that temperature.
The real secret is to let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes after you take them off the grill and before you eat them so the juices can redistribute and give you a nice juicy pork chop!

Storage and Reheating

Add leftover pork to salad, pasta, rice or sandwiches for a delicious lunch!
As always, you can reheat pork in the microwave but to prevent it from really drying out, add a little bit of water to your dish.
You can also reheat on the stove top, covered with a lid to keep moisture in.

Can I buy this Pork Seasoning?

Yes! In fact we have bottled and have our own line of seasonings. This Pork Seasoning can be purchased along with several other of our famous rubs and seasonings!
