How to Make Bbq Pork Chops
- **Make the BBQ Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
- (Optional) Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for extra brightness.
- Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke. Bring to a gentle boil again.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned pork chops to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the pork chops.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
