Smoked Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients:
4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 teaspoons Pop Smoke Memphis Style Rub
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Pork Chops: Rinse the pork chops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each chop generously with salt and black pepper.
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and Pop Smoke until well combined.
Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the seasoned pork chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
Prepare the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (110°C). Use wood chips or chunks of your choice (such as apple, hickory, or cherry) for smoking. Soak the wood chips or chunks in water for about 30 minutes before using them.
Smoke the Pork Chops: Once the smoker is preheated and the wood chips are ready, remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the pork chops directly on the smoker rack.
Smoke the pork chops for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Make sure to flip the chops halfway through the cooking time for even smoking.
Rest and Serve: Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chops juicy and tender.
Serve: Serve the smoked pork chops hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the smoky flavor and tender texture of these delicious chops!
