I have many pork chop recipes, and one of my favorite recipes to cook pork is baked pork chops with homemade dry rub. Making pork chops is one of the easiest dinner recipes, especially for busy weeknights. Pork chops are delicious and can also be made in a pressure cooker, such as Instant Pot Pork Chops.

Finish cooking the pork chops in oven to seal in the juice. The end results are perfect pork chops that taste so delicious, with tender and juicy meat. They are so good and you will want this dish on your dinner rotation!

Cooking Tips For Perfectly Cooked Pork Chops

Buy boneless pork chops, about 1.5 inch thick. This is very important because a thicker cut will make sure that the pork chops are not dry and rubbery after baking in oven. Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, for example: Lodge cast iron skillet. The patina of the skillet, plus the combination of butter, garlic, rosemary and sea salt makes these pork chops so tasty and mouthwatering. When serving, slice the pork into bite-size pieces and sop up the buttery sauce on the skillet. The sauce is liquid gold; it’s so delicious and adds so much flavors to the pork chops. Avoid table salt and use sea salt. Sea salt really elevates the overall taste of oven baked pork chops.
