Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then lightly brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and brush the barbecue sauce mixture generously over both sides of the pork chops.
If necessary, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, spoon some of the sauce over the chops, and then bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
