Oven Baked BBQ Pork Chops

Method

  1. 1

    Combine all of the barbecue sauce ingredients on the stove in a medium pan over medium heat. Bring ingredients to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring while simmering. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pork chops on a cutting board or on a plate.

  3. 3

    Mix the paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the 4 pork chops. Use a brush to spread the BBQ sauce on both sides of the pork chops.

  4. 4

    Place the pork chops in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet with a wire rack.

  5. 5

    Bake the pork chops in the oven, flipping half way through and spreading more BBQ sauce on the pork chops.

  6. 6

    This will take about 15 minutes for 1/2 inch/ 1 cm inch thick pork chops, 20 minutes for 1 inch/ 2 1/2 cm thickness or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove pork chops from the oven, cover or tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnishes with green onions and serve warm.

Notes

Pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F at the thickest part. Slightly pink inside is correct and safe. Fully grey pork is overcooked. For 1/2-inch chops, bake 12 to 14 minutes. For 1-inch chops, bake 20 to 22 minutes. Flip halfway through and add sauce at the flip. For a caramelized crust, switch to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely — BBQ sauce burns fast. Let chops rest for 5 minutes under foil before cutting. This keeps the juices in the meat. Homemade sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
