Spicy Grilled BBQ Pork Chops
Serve these tasty grilled barbecued pork chops with Dilled Corn and Pea Salad and fresh sliced tomatoes.
Recipe Ingredients:
8 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Dry Rub:
4 teaspoons chili powder
4 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons black pepper
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
Homemade Spicy BBQ Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons Valentina, or your favorite hot sauce
1/2 cup honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Directions:
- To marinate pork chops: Combine all dry ingredients to make rub. Brush pork chops on all sides with oil, making sure to coat well. Lay out pork chops on a jelly roll type pan and freely apply rub to each side of the chop. Place chops in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, make your homemade BBQ sauce. Combine all ingredients, blend with a whisk and allow to stand for 30 minutes before serving. Cover and refrigerate.
- Prepare your grill. When it’s hot, place pork chops on the grill over a medium-high heat. Grill chops approximately three to four minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your pork chops. Cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
- Serve chops whole or sliced with BBQ sauce on the side.
Makes 8 servings.
