We love mixing pork chops (bone-in or boneless pork chops) into our weekly menu rotation because they are delicious, cook quickly, the whole family loves them, and when they are packed with all the amazing flavors in this spice blend they are hard to beat!

When Should You Season Pork Chops
We recommend that you pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and then sprinkle this pork chop seasoning (or spice rub) on both sides of your pork chops before you cook them. Letting the seasoning sit on the pork chops for several minutes before cooking will help bring out the meat’s natural flavors.
