This recipe for oven baked bone-in pork chops is an absolute all-time favorite! With just 4 ingredients and 30 minutes in the oven, we’ll make the most delicious pork chops you’ll want to make time and time again.
An easy pork chop dinner recipe
I love making oven baked pork chops because they’re super easy to make and require very little prep, very little cleanup, and since they cook in the oven, you can take care of other things without having to pay constant attention to them. No need to fire up the grill and mess around with a pan. If I have frozen pork chops, I just let them defrost in the refrigerator before work, and they’re ready to cook when I get home.
Delicious pork chops with only 4 simple ingredients
For this recipe we’ll use bone-in pork chops, which naturally are more flavorful and juicy than boneless. The pork chops get seasoned on both sides with some salt and pepper, then rubbed with brown sugar. The brown sugar lends itself perfectly to the natural flavor of the pork to create a sweet and savory flavor you will absolutely love.
Easy to Make Pork chops in the oven
The pork chops will cook low at only 325 degrees F, for 25 minutes, then spend 5 minuted under the broiler. This final step caramelizes the brown sugar and gives the pork chops an awesome flavor and color.
I recommend pork chops that are about ¾″ thick. Also, be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before you add the seasonings. This is important. Bake them in a shallow baking dish lined with aluminum. This way cleanup will be easy when those sweet juices drip down.

I had 2 huge bone-in pork chops so I used a little more seasoning. In addition, I always do a brine soak for about 30-40 minutes. I used the listed seasonings and added 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne. I might try 1/2 teaspoon next time! I also used avocado oil on the meat and then rubbed in the mixed seasonings! Cooked it at 325 for 15 minutes and turned them over and continued for 15 mins. The chops were moist, juicy, and tasty! A nice recipe, that we really enjoyed!

This turned out great! My husband doesn’t like pork chops and went back for seconds. I did brine them for an hour or two prior to cooking.

First my chops were2” thick bone in. I whipped up a rub using garlic powder onion powder, Spanish smoked paprika, Hawaiian red salt, dry mustard, poultry seasoning, white pepper and brown sugar. Once my chops came to room temp I liberally rub on my rub…then with oil in my cast iron skillet I sear both sides until brown. I put them in a preheated oven at 350° for 25 minutes temp was 150 ish put aside to rest sliced thin served with a white wine reduction in the skillet. These were the most tender and delicious chops I have ever had….
