    1. That’s a great question Debbie! You definitely can sear them in a pan. You could even cook them in the pan without using the oven. Depending on the thickness, I’d try them at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes to cook to your desired doneness.

  1. 5 stars
    Great flavor
    I big hit !!
    I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and pork chops..both 👍 great
    I also cooked on a parchment liner cookie sheet and it worked well

  2. Easy and delicious! A touch of sweetness with the savory herbs. Used an indoor electric Foreman grill since it was too cold to grill outdoors. Bet it’s even better on the outdoor grill. Definitely a keeper! I plan to mix up a batch ahead of time and take on a long camping trip. Thanks for the recipe.

      We did exactly that! Mixed up a large batch of the rub to take on our family camping trip, then just before grill time put the rub on the chops, let it sit a bit, then barbecued them. Easy Peasy!

  3. 5 stars
    I made this over for Mother’s Day and it was amazing! But with the recipe it shows pepper twice, is this correct or is there supposed to be something else? I just did it once and it turned out fine.
    Thanks again for the delicious recipe, I’ll definitely be making this again!!

    1. Hi Cassie, looks like it should have been cumin as the second listing. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback and ask. I switched recipe plugins recently so it may have not converted properly. All fixed now!

  4. I am going to try this recipe w/ my new sous vide machine. It’s similar to a rub I’ve used w/ pork tenderloin and that turned out super yummy! I think I messed up that recipe in a way by using coffee grounds, and not fresh ground coffee. Oops. Still good, though.

    1. Hi Laura. Thanks for the feedback. Correct, I don’t think you need to too much coffee grounds. I love sous vide and this would be great for that! Of course, give it a good sear after cooking.

  5. I love the combination of smoked paprika, coffee and brown sugar here. These chops sound delicious…perfect for a summer dinner on the back porch! Thanks for sharing! #client

      Excellent rub! We love it on pork chops, but it also works great on chicken and beef. One of our grilling standbys.
