Bone In Pork Chops Recipe

Pork chops – Thicker cuts are best for juicy chops, so I suggest using bone in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for this recipe.

Add a quick side – You can easily add in another sheet pan with the pork chops to roast some veggies for a side dish. Just pick veggies like broccoli, cauliflower or brussels sprouts that will cook in about 30 minutes.

The seasoning – You might want to make more of the seasoning after trying it, so go ahead and use it on chicken or steak too :).

If you do either of these, reduce the baking cook time by 4-5 minutes so the chops don’t try out.

How To Cook Tender and Juicy Pork Chops in the Oven

The easiest recipe for tender, juicy pork chops that turn out perfectly every time. All you need? Cast iron skillet and your oven. No brining necessary!

Serving Size: Serves 3

Nutrition Facts: Saturated Fat 6.8 g, unSaturated Fat 0.0 g, Carbohydrate 1.2 g, Sugar 0.0 g, servingSize Serves 3, Protein 41.4 g, Fat 24.2 g, calories 397 cal, Sodium 1032.2 mg, Fiber 0.4 g, Cholesterol 0 mg

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cold water, divided
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt (or 2 1/2 tablespoons table salt)
• Optional flavorings: 2 smashed garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 bay leaf
• 2 to 4 center cut, bone-in pork chops (3/4-inch to 1-inch thick, about 1 pound each)
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Instruction:

1. Brine the pork chops (optional). If you have time, brining the pork for even a brief period adds flavor and ensures juiciness in the finished chop. Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil, add the salt and optional flavorings, and stir to dissolve the salt. Add 2 more cups of cold water to bring the temperature of the brine down to room temperature. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the brine over top. The brine should cover the chops — if not, add additional water and salt (1 cup water to 1 tablespoon salt) until the chops are submerged. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
2. Heat the oven and skillet. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Place a large ovensafe skillet in the oven to heat as well. While the oven heats, prepare the pork chops.
3. Season the pork chops. Remove the chops from the brine; if you didn’t brine, remove the chops from their packaging. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Set the chops aside while the oven finishes heating.
4. Remove the skillet from the oven. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and set it over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Turn on a vent fan or open a window.
5. Sear the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the hot skillet. You should hear them immediately begin to sizzle. Sear until the bottom of the chops are golden-brown, about 3 minutes. The chops may start to smoke a little — that’s ok. Turn down the heat if it becomes excessive.
6. Flip the chops and transfer to the oven. Use tongs to flip the pork chops. Using oven mitts, immediately place the skillet in the oven.
7. Roast the chops until cooked through. Roast until the pork chops are cooked through and register 140°F to 145°F in the thickest part of the meat with an instant-read thermometer. Cooking time will be 6 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops, how cool they were at the start of cooking, and whether they were brined. Start checking the chops at 6 minutes and continue checking every minute or two until the chops are ready.
8. Rest the chops. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and pour any pan juices over the top (or reserve for making a pan sauce or gravy). Tent loosely with foil and let the chops rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
