   • 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
