Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions:
-
Marinate the Pork Chops:
- In a large pyrex glass measuring bowl, combine the cider vinegar, soy sauce, chopped onion, dried rosemary, ground sage, salt, minced garlic, and barbecue sauce. Mix well to blend all the flavors.
-
Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all chops are coated evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, flipping occasionally to marinate evenly.
-
Cooking Method:
- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- If using a grill, oil the grate to prevent sticking. If broiling, oil the broiling pan.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
-
Grilling/Broiling:
- Grill or broil the pork chops for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium rare, or 160°F (71°C) for medium, as recommended by USDA guidelines.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the pork chops from the grill or broiler.
- Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
