Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 1/2 cup Kinder's Hot BBQ Sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preparing the Grill

1. Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Aim for medium-high heat, around 400°F, to sear the pork chops and lock in the juices.

Preparing the Pork Chops

2. Season the pork chops: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
3. Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the pork chops with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere and to promote even browning on the grill.

Grilling the Pork Chops

4. Sear the pork chops: Place the pork chops on the center grill grate and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until grill marks form and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.  Don't overcook them!!!
5. Glaze with Kinder's Hot BBQ Sauce: During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, generously brush the pork chops with Kinder's Hot BBQ Sauce. Continue to baste the chops with the sauce, turning them frequently to build up a thick, caramelized glaze.

Finishing Touches

6. Rest the pork chops: Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Serve: Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter and brush with more Kinder's Hot BBQ Sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Tips

• Even cooking: Ensure the pork chops are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
• Sauce layering: Applying multiple layers of Kinder's Hot BBQ Sauce during the final grilling phase creates a rich, flavorful glaze.
• Resting: Letting the pork chops rest after grilling helps keep them juicy and tender.
