My favorite baked pork chops recipe -- easy to make, nice and juicy, and easy to customize with your favorite seasonings.

Provided by Ali

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bone-in, thick-cut pork chops (ideally about 1 to 1.5-inches thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
optional: lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • To brine your pork chops, fill a large bowl with 1 quart of warm (not hot) water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir to combine until most of the salt is absorbed. Add the pork chops and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes. Or you can also also cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse with cold water, then pat them dry with some paper towels.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Brush the pork chops on both sides with olive oil
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder until combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on both sides of the pork.
  • Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet (or oven-safe sauté pan) on the stove over high heat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is super-hot, add the pork chops and use a spatula to press them evenly into the pan, so that the entire bottom surface of the pork chops makes contact with the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the under-sides of the pork chops are golden brown. Carefully use tongs to flip the pork chops. Then use an oven mitt to carefully transfer the skillet to the oven. Continue baking for 3 minutes. Then flip the pork chops once more, and continue baking for 3-5 minutes more, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (62°C).
  • Once the pork is ready to go, immediately remove the pan from the oven, and transfer the pork to a clean plate. Brush any of the pan juices onto the pork chops. Then loosely tent the plate with aluminum foil and and let the pork rest for at least 3 minutes.
  • Serve warm. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

BEST BAKED PORK CHOPS



Best Baked Pork Chops image

After searching for a good, easy, one-dish baked pork chop recipe I came up with my own -- and it's the best. These were literally fork tender. I served it with a side of mixed vegetables. I know a lot of people will balk at using the bacon grease for frying the chops, but it does add a smoky flavor that enhances the chipotle pepper.

  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops are a mild-flavored meat, so it's important to season them well before cooking. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cumin.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops: Pork chops are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, tender, and flavorful. Whether you're baking, grilling, or pan-frying pork chops, be sure to use a good-quality meat, season it well, and cook it to the proper internal temperature.
