"I really like this recipe. It's simple and spicy. Be sure to turn your fan on full blast! I didn't and set off my smoke alarm and had to keep doors and windows open for close to an hour to get rid of all of the smoke. lol."

NOTE:

I cheat a bit. I just brush some melted butter on each chop and then press the blackening seasoning into it. I also cooked it a little longer since my chops were thick.
