Main Ingredients

4 pieces Bone-in pork chops

1 cup Kansas City BBQ sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Watkins garlic powder

1 teaspoon Onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

Sides

4 ears Corn on the cob

4 tablespoons Butter

2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Method

Main Dish Preparation

Prepare the Pork Chops

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Sear the Pork Chops

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust.

Add BBQ Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the Kansas City BBQ sauce over the chops. Cover the skillet and let them cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Sides Preparation

Cook the Corn on the Cob

While the pork chops are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove and let drain.

Butter and Garnish the Corn

Spread butter over the hot corn on the cob and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
