Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce (optional)
Sweet BBQ Pork Rub
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Combine all of the rub ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the grill on medium high heat for 10 minutes until it is around 400°F. Turn off the burners on one side of the grill so that you have a zone of direct heat and a zone of indirect heat.
- Rub the pork chops all over with the olive oil, then sprinkle generously with the sweet bbq rub, massaging it into the meat.
- Place the pork chops on the grill over direct heat and sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Move the pork chops to the indirect heat side of the grill and cook for another 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F when measured with an instant read meat thermometer. You can baste them with your favorite bbq sauce after turning, if desired.
- Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
