- Brush both sides of pork chops with thin coating of cooking oil and then coat evenly with blackened seasoning.
- Heat skillet (cast iron recommended) to medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons butter to pan and spread evenly. Quickly place 2-3 pork chops in hot pan. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until internal temperature of pork chop reaches 145-150 F. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes. Cook remaining pork chops using remaining butter.
