preheat oven to 350 degrees

in a bowl, combine your spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt).

rub the pork chops in the spices generously.

heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat.

when the oil is hot, add the pork chops.

cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they have a nice caramelized brownness to them.

once you feel that they are looking browned, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to each pork chop.

turn each pork chop over, so both sides get some melted brown sugar

bake pork chops for 15 minutes, to make sure the pork chops are cooked through.

before serving, pour the glaze that's formed in the pan over the chops.
