4. Lightly brush the chops with oil and season with salt. Grill the chops, covered, over moderately high heat, turning and shifting the chops occasionally, until they are lightly charred and a meat thermometer inserted nearest the bone registers 140u00b0, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chops to a platter and serve with the spiced barbecue sauce on the side.
