Oven Baked Bone-In Pork Chops

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.

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.

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 3/4″ 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.
