Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your pork chop marinade.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Serve the barbecued pork chops hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra paprika for a pop of color.
-
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.
