Preheat oven on the high broil setting for about 10 minutes.
Grind fennel seed in a spice grinder or small blender until it’s a fine powder. Combine with salt and cracked black pepper (you could also grind whole pepper corns with the fennel seed). Sprinkle liberally over both sides of the pork chops.
Place pork on a foil-lined roasting pan.
Broil on the first side for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your pork chops. If on the thin side go with 6 minutes. Flip and broil on the second side for another 6-8 minutes.
Rest the pork chops under foil for 5 minutes before eating.
