Sweet and savory, these baked honey garlic pork chops really entice your taste buds and all you need is 5 simple ingredients to make this easy family friendly dish.
When I want something quick, easy, and family friendly, I almost always choose pork chops. They are east to cook: either baked, air fried, or pan fried and the are easily served with a number of side dishes.
How to make your own thick boneless pork chops
Sometimes you can't easily find pork chops that are 1 inch thick, which would be best for baking because they will not dry out. I like to buy a small pork loin, about 2-3 pounds, and cut it into 6 thick pork chops.
How to bake pork chops in the oven
Pork chops are great in the oven if you do not over cook them. They are great after applying a marinade for added flavor and to avoid bland pork chops. Be sure to use thicker pork chops and let them bake just until the internal temperature reaches 145F. This takes about 20 minutes at 400F oven temperature.
When you bake pork chops in the oven, they are not going to get browned. I suggest putting them under the broiler for a few minutes if you want that nice looking browned pork chop.
