These Spicy BBQ Pork Chops are succulent, flavor-packed, and perfect for a keto diet. The combination of spices and a homemade sugar-free BBQ sauce elevates the dish to a delightful experience.

Ingredients

• Pork chops - 2 (approximately 200g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar-free BBQ sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Mustard - 1 teaspoon
• Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create a spice rub.
2. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4. While the pork chops are cooking, in a separate bowl, combine the sugar-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to create the BBQ glaze.
5. Once the pork chops are cooked, brush the BBQ glaze generously over them and let them cook for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Remove the pork chops from the skillet, let them rest for a few minutes, then serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
