Oven Baked Barbecue Pork Chops

Oven Baked Barbecue Pork Chops 2 - tablespoons olive or canola oil 4 - 6 bone in pork chops about 3/4 inch thick 2 - 3 tablespoon barbecue rub (I use Grill Mates Sweet & Smoky Dry Rub) 1/4 - cup brown sugar 1 - small onion, cut into rings 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce, use your favorite brand or homemade 1/4 - cup apple cider or apple juice Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over med-high heat. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the dry rub together. Sprinkle the mixture on both sides of the pork chops, rubbing the dry rub into the meat on each side. Add the pork chops to the dutch oven and sear on both sides. Add the onion rings over the pork chops. Cover the dutch oven and bake the pork chops for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl mix the barbecue sauce and apple cider together. Using a basting brush, coat the pork chops on both sides and pour the remaining sauce over the chops. Bake the pork chops uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve with additional sauce if needed.
