Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade for basting and pour the remaining marinade over the pork chops. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If grilling, lightly oil the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade that was in contact with the raw meat.

Step 5

If grilling, place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. If baking, place the pork chops on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the grill or oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
