Ingredients

  • 4 bone
  • in pork chops (1 inch thick)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (homemade or store
  • bought)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
  • Coleslaw (homemade or store
  • bought)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  2. Preheat grill to medium high heat (around 375°F).
  3. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  4. Brush both sides of the cooked pork chops with the barbecue sauce mixture. Continue grilling, basting with sauce, for 2 3 more minutes until a deep, glossy glaze forms. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Assemble each sandwich with a pork chop, toasted bun, and coleslaw. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve a perfect glaze, watch the pork chops closely during the basting stage. Remove them from the grill when they have a deep, glossy appearance.

Notes

To enhance the grilling experience, add a side of corn on the cob or baked beans to your meal.
