Preheat your outdoor grill, grill pan, or oven broiler to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). If using the broiler, position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place them on a plate or cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides, pressing lightly to adhere.
If using a grill or grill pan: Place the pork chops on the preheated grill, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side. Use tongs to flip them once. If using the broiler: Arrange the pork chops on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once.
Brush the pork chops generously with BBQ sauce on both sides. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the BBQ pork chops hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or grilled vegetables. Enjoy!
