Pat's Classic BBQ Pork Chops

By Addie

We're all for tradition, especially when it's this tasty. A classic marinade for a sizzling pork chop, hot off the grill.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 2 Tbsp. plus sugar, divided
• 2 Tbsp. Kosher salt
• 4 bone-in pork chops (1 1/2 lb.) 1/2 inch thick
• 1 Tbsp. paprika
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup bulls eye memphis style barbecue sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Mix water, 2 Tbsp. sugar and salt until sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour over chops in resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; turn to evenly coat chops with brine. Refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, mix remaining sugar and seasonings.

Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chops from brine; discard bag and brine. Coat chops evenly with seasoning mixture.

Grill 5-6 mins. on each side or until done (145), brushing with barbecue sauce for the last few minutes. Remove from grill. Let stand 3 mins.
