**Barbecued Pork Chops**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 bone-in pork chops
– 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your pork chop marinade.
3. Brush the marinade over both sides of the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the pork chops sit and marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the pork chops on the grill grates. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
5. As the pork chops are grilling, baste them with your favorite barbecue sauce. Brush the sauce onto the chops every few minutes, creating a sticky and flavorful glaze.
6. Once the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness and have a nice char from the barbecue sauce, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve the barbecued pork chops hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra paprika for a pop of color.
8. Enjoy these succulent pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh summer salad. Pair them with a chilled glass of lemonade or iced tea for the perfect summer meal.
