Moist Baked Pork Chops image

For perfectly prepared pork chops (preferably bone-in) you must brine them for at least 1 to 2 hours and pick chops that are at least 1/2 to 1-inch thick. The success to this dish is the brine for moistness. There are many brine variations out there for what flavor you are wanting to accomplish but, it is an important part of the overall dish.

Moist, Tender & Crispy Pork Chops image

We don't eat pork often, so when we do, it needs to be spectacular! I developed these based on a recipe from an episode of Nigella Feasts. NOTE: Zaar adds the entire amount of the frying oil, egg wash and coating to the nutritional facts panel. Generally, the entire amounts are not used completely so these chops have less fat, cholesterol & calories than stated.
