Variations & swaps
What Are Some Substitutions I Can Make?
- Brown Sugar : It is okay to use either dark brown sugar or light brown sugar, but if you use dark, you may find the pork to be a little sweeter than if you used light brown sugar. I prefer using light brown sugar.
- Smoked Paprika : You can use regular paprika if you don’t have smoked paprika; but the combination of smoked paprika + brown sugar gives more of an earthy flavor to the sweetness that is really delicious.
- Boneless Pork Chops : If you want to use bone-in chops, you can, but it will increase the cooking time. Just keep a close eye on the internal temperature of the pork. There are also thin-sliced boneless pork chops, or regular thicker pork chops, but it may change the cook time especially if using thin-cut; you won’t need as long to cook those ones thoroughly.
- Olive Oil : Any neutral flavored oil can be used such as avocado oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil. Yellow mustard is another good binder that can be used as well.
