Notes

Feel free to substitute the barbecue sauce with a homemade version using ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
You can use boneless pork chops but adjust the cooking time to avoid overcooking.
Consider adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the barbecue sauce for an extra zing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 300°F to maintain moisture.
Experiment with different sauces such as honey mustard or teriyaki for variety!
