Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a rub.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chop.
Cover the seasoned pork chops and let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a separate small bowl, mix barbecue sauce and honey to create the glaze. Set aside.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
Brush the top side of the pork chops generously with the barbecue glaze and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Flip the chops one more time, brush the other side with the glaze, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (for medium doneness).
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops with additional barbecue sauce on the side and enjoy!
