Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 piece Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Drizzle olive oil over the chops and rub it in to help the spices adhere.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, chipotle pepper (chopped), adobo sauce, onion powder, smoked paprika, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Reserve about half of the barbecue sauce for serving. Use the remaining sauce to baste the pork chops during grilling.
Place the pork chops on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and baste with the barbecue sauce. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain their juiciness.
Serve the grilled pork chops with reserved barbecue sauce on the side. Pair with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables or cornbread for a complete meal.
