- Four 1-inch-thick bone-in center-cut pork chops
- Kosher salt
- ½ cup Neely's Barbecue Seasoning (below)
- 2 cups Neely’s Barbecue Sauce
- 1½ cups paprika
- ¾ cup sugar
- 3¾ tablespoons onion powder
- FOR THE BARBECUE SEASONING:
- Stir together the ingredients in a small bowl. Stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, this seasoning will last for up to 6 months.
- FOR THE PORK CHOPS:
- Season the chops with salt and Neely’s Barbecue Seasoning, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook the chops, take them out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the grill to 250°F, preferably over hickory and charcoal.
- Place the chops on the grill away from the flame, using indircet heat, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once. Wrap the chops in a foil packet, and return them to the grill or place them in a 180°F oven, and cook until they are very tender and pull easily away from the bone, about 40 minutes more. Brush the chops with a generous amount of sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking, then serve them with additional sauce.
