Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops, bone-in
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Whole30 BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub each chop with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere.
Step 3
Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the pork chops, ensuring that each chop is well-coated.
Step 4
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or container and pour in 3/4 cup of the Whole30 BBQ sauce. Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 7
Grease the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
During the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush both sides of the pork chops with the remaining BBQ sauce.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant side dishes.
