Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. Bone-in pork chops will stay juicier during cooking, and the bone will help to flavor the meat.
Make sure the pork chops are fully marinated: The pork chops should be marinated for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better. The longer the pork chops marinate, the more flavorful they will be.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook the pork chops over high heat, they will be more likely to burn on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook the pork chops to a higher temperature, they will be dry and tough.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will help them to retain their juices and stay tender.

Conclusion:

Chili-marinated pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the chili marinade gives them a slightly spicy and smoky flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
