Tips:
- To achieve tender and flavorful pork chops, marinate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a variety of marinades, such as the one suggested in the recipe, or create your own.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat to prevent them from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- For a crispy crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet before transferring them to the oven to finish cooking.
- The sweet and sour sauce is versatile and can be used as a dipping sauce, a glaze, or a marinade. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
