• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 cup barbeque sauce
• kosher salt to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add pork chops to hot oil in the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk barbecue sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and garlic powder together in a bowl for the 'crack' sauce. Pour sauce over golden pork chops and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until pork shops are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
