Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a spice rub.
Brush both sides of the pork chops with the spice rub, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the pork chops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for even cooking.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and generously brush the top of each pork chop with BBQ sauce.
Return the pork chops to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Optional: For a caramelized glaze, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on the chops to avoid burning.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the oven BBQ pork chops warm with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
