Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to create a seasoning blend.
Brush both sides of the pork chops with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the pork chops on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to ensure good grill marks.
Flip the pork chops and generously brush the grilled side with barbecue sauce.
Grill for another 4-5 minutes. Once the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C), move them to a cooler part of the grill.
Apply another layer of barbecue sauce to both sides. Close the grill lid and let them cook for an additional 5-6 minutes to let the sauce caramelize slightly.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for at least 3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
