Spicy Grilled BBQ Pork Chops

8 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

 

Dry Rub:

4 teaspoons chili powder
4 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons black pepper
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano

 

Homemade Spicy BBQ Sauce:

1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons Valentina, or your favorite hot sauce
1/2 cup honey
Salt and pepper, to taste

1. To marinate pork chops: Combine all dry ingredients to make rub. Brush pork chops on all sides with oil, making sure to coat well. Lay out pork chops on a jelly roll type pan and freely apply rub to each side of the chop. Place chops in the refrigerator.
2. Meanwhile, make your homemade BBQ sauce. Combine all ingredients, blend with a whisk and allow to stand for 30 minutes before serving. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Prepare your grill. When it’s hot, place pork chops on the grill over a medium-high heat. Grill chops approximately three to four minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your pork chops. Cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
4. Serve chops whole or sliced with BBQ sauce on the side.

Makes 8 servings.
