Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine apple cider vinegar, honey, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and water. Stir constantly until well mixed and brought to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 3
Prepare the grill for medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the seasoned pork chops on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.
Step 5
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush your BBQ sauce generously on each side of the pork chops.
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Serve your low sodium perfectly grilled BBQ pork chops with your choice of side dishes, and enjoy!
