* Spice rubs are a quick way to add a lot of savory flavor to your favorite protein, but don’t forget that you’re seasoning the meat at the same time. You could season the chops with salt and pepper before rubbing them down, but I like to build the salt and pepper right into the mix. How much salt you add will, as always, depend on your personal taste and preference as well as how salty your garlic salt is. You might want to start with less salt in the rub, taste it (don’t worry, a quick lick o’ dry spice won’t hurt you. I promise) and add more salt as you see fit.
