Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite variety)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Prepare the Oven
[adinserter block=”4″]
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
2. Make the Barbecue Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Season the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper. Drying the meat helps the glaze stick better and promotes better browning.
4. Coat the Chops
Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Spoon or brush the barbecue sauce mixture generously over both sides of each chop, making sure they’re well coated.
