Steps:
- 1. In gallon-sized zipper-lock plastic bag, dissolve sugar and salt in 2 cups hot water. Add garlic, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, and 4 cups cold water; cool mixture to room temperature. Add pork chops, then seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible; refrigerate until fully seasoned, about 1 hour, turning bag once. Remove chops from brine and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- 2. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position, place shallow roasting pan or jelly-roll pan on oven rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees. When oven reaches 450 degrees, heat oil in 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Place chops in skillet; cook until well-browned and nice crust has formed on surface, about 2 minutes. Turn chops over with tongs; cook until well-browned and a nice crust has formed on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Using tongs, transfer chops to preheated pan in oven. Roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each chop registers 125-127 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes, turning chops over once halfway through cooking time. Transfer each chop to platter; cover loosely with foil (be sure not to wrap foil tightly around meat), and let rest about 5 minutes. (Check internal temperature; it should register about 145 degrees).
- 3. Transfer the browned chops to a preheated baking sheet. To check internal temperatures, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of the chop from the side.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops for the best flavor. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before cooking the pork chops. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet before roasting them in the oven. This will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Roast the pork chops in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that they are cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Oven-roasted pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking by adding different spices and seasonings. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
