These Raspberry Chipotle Pork Chops are all about sweet heat and big backyard flavor. Thick, bone-in pork chops get coated in olive oil and Kosmos Q Honey Chipotle Killer Bee Rub, then grilled over direct heat to build a beautiful crust before moving to indirect heat to finish cooking.
The pork chops are finished with layers of Kosmos Q Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce, creating a sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy glaze that takes every bite to the next level. They’re quick, easy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner or your next backyard cook. Let’s get to it.
Pat the 4 bone-in pork chops dry with paper towels.
Drizzle the pork chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, making sure each chop gets a light, even coating.
Season generously on all sides with 2 tablespoons of Kosmos Q Honey Chipotle Killer Bee Rub.
These pork chops are thick, so don't be afraid to give them a good coating of seasoning.
Let the pork chops sit for about 10 minutes while you get the grill fired up.
Now you've got the pork prepped, seasoned, and ready to hit the heat.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
If you're cooking on a charcoal grill, set up a two-zone fire with a hot direct side and a cooler indirect side.
The direct heat will give the pork chops a beautiful crust and plenty of color, while the indirect side gives you a place to finish cooking without burning the outside.
Once the grill is hot and ready, it's time to cook.
Place the pork chops directly over the heat and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Flip as needed and let them cook until the outside develops the color and crust you like.
Once the pork chops have a beautiful sear, move them over to the indirect side of the grill.
Close the lid and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches about 150°F.
This gives you plenty of time to build that beautiful crust on the outside while gently bringing the pork chops up to temperature.
During the final 5 minutes of cooking, brush the pork chops generously with the ½ cup of Kosmos Q Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce.
Flip the pork chops and glaze the other side, building up a few layers of that sweet and spicy flavor.
If you like, add a little of the butter to the pork chops as they finish cooking for an extra layer of richness.
Continue cooking until the pork reaches your desired final temperature, around 160°F internal.
Let the sauce tack up and become sticky and caramelized, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
This gives the juices time to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping every bite tender and juicy.
While the pork chops rest, get a little extra Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce ready for the final touch.
Arrange the rested pork chops on a platter and drizzle them with an extra layer of Kosmos Q Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce.
That final glaze adds even more sweet heat and gives the pork chops a beautiful, glossy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
