Unlocking the Flavors with Cocoa & Chili

At Big Grill Shop, we believe that the key to an unforgettable culinary experience lies in the perfect blend of quality ingredients and innovative recipes. Our Cocoa & Chili Rubbed Pork Chops recipe is a true testament to this philosophy. Combining the rich flavors of cocoa with the heat of chili, this dish takes your taste buds on a journey like no other.

Ingredients:

  • 4 thick-cut pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for additional heat)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparing the Rub

To start, combine the cocoa powder, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired) in a small bowl. Mix well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.

Coating the Pork Chops

Take the pork chops and generously rub the prepared mixture onto all sides of the meat. Make sure each chop is evenly coated, as this will ensure consistent flavor throughout.

Letting the Flavors Marinate

Place the seasoned pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a covered bowl. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This step allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more succulent and tasty dish.

Giving the Chops Some Grill Love

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle the olive oil over the grates to prevent sticking. Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated pork chops on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Serving Suggestions

Once the Cocoa & Chili Rubbed Pork Chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. This time allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring mouthwatering tenderness. Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
