Spicy Grilled BBQ Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 8 center cut pork chops (bone-in, about 6 ounces each)

• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

• 1/4 cup oil

• 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

• 2 tsp. dried thyme

• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper

• salt (to taste, optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, thyme, cayenne pepper and salt.
2. Place the pork chops in the bowl, and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
3. Preheat grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the marinated pork chops on the grill, and allow them to cook for about 3 minutes per side, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the thickest part of the pork chop reaches between 145 degrees (medium-rare) and 160 degrees (well done).
4. Let pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving.
