🛒 Ingredients and Notes

Pork: You need to make sure you choose your cut of pork wisely to suit your tastes. There are several options, boneless or bone-in:

• The leanest cut is pork tenderloin, which is almost as lean as a skinless chicken breast. This is a good option if you're health-conscious.
• The shoulder cut is darker and has quite a lot more fat. However, they also tend to have more gristle and so can be better suited to braising. You can still use a shoulder chop, but you may want to tenderize it before cooking for the best results.
• The rib chop will have a bone running along one side, sometimes with a fat layer on the outside. This cut is very mild and tender, so it is another good option for recipes like this.

Oil: We almost always use EVOO for cooking, but you can use vegetable or canola oil or whatever oil you have handy.

🔪 Instructions

Give these delicious oven-baked pork chops recipe a try this weekend (or tonight!) by following the simple instructions below.

How to cook pork chops in the oven (this recipe is also suitable for broiling and grilling, just skip the searing part):

1. Place pork chops in a skillet and sear over medium heat for approximately 3 minutes per side or until golden-brown in color; transfer to a baking dish.
2. Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the pork chops.
3. Bake for 30-45 minutes until golden brown or when internal tempreature reaches 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit. Here's a helpful guide on pork cooking times and temperature.

There are a few little tips and tricks for this recipe. For example:

• Make sure that each pork chop is at least an inch thick. This makes sure that meat will remain tender rather than becoming overcooked and tough sooner, as thinner chops tend to do.
• When cooking in a cast-iron skillet, make sure to preheat it first, then add oil and other ingredients as skillets perform best when heated and cooled gradually.
• Once you add the meat to the skillet, don't fuss over it. It takes a couple of minutes for the meat to sear properly. By doing so, all of the flavors will lock inside. Only turn it when it gets a white border all around the edges ¼ to ½ inch wide. You can also shake the pan, and if the meat isn't sticking, it's ready to be turned.
• Brown the chops in batches. If you're making these as a romantic dinner for two, halve the recipe. In this case, there is also no reason to transfer the pork into a baking pan - add the glaze ingredients and place the skillet in the oven.
