Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire with hot and cool areas.
Rub each pork chop with olive oil on both sides to coat them evenly.
Combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mix generously over both sides of the pork chops.
In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and chili powder. Stir well and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the brown sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the pork chops on the grill over direct heat and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until they develop nice grill marks.
Move the pork chops to the cooler area of the grill (indirect heat) and brush BBQ sauce generously over the top side of each chop. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes.
Flip the pork chops, brush the other side with BBQ sauce, and continue to cook for another 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (use a meat thermometer to check).
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the BBQ pork chops with additional BBQ sauce on the side. Pair with grilled vegetables, coleslaw, or baked potatoes for a complete meal.
