Mix all ingredients for marinade and pour over chops.  Let marinate for 15 - 20 minutes.  Cook on barbecue for 5 - 8 minutes a side or until done basting each side with barbecue sauce.  Should be slightly pink near bone when done - take a peak (techniques).  Or fry in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat the same amount of time.  Serve, with Ginger Barbecue Sauce on the side.
