Simple Grilled BBQ Pork Chops

These juicy grilled BBQ pork chops are marinated in a blend of spices and BBQ sauce, resulting in a flavorful and satisfying meal. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup BBQ sauce plus extra for basting
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Grill the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Baste with additional BBQ sauce during the last minute of cooking.
Rest and Serve: Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps to retain the juices.
