Oven Baked Bone-In Pork Chops

Instructions

1. 01

   Let pork chops come to room temperature for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 02

   Combine all seasoning rub ingredients (brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, onion powder, salt and black pepper) in a small bowl. Whisk or stir until well blended.

3. 03

   Rub seasonings over all sides of pork chops and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cut the butter into 4 thin "pats" and place one pat of butter on top of each pork chop.

4. 04

   Bake for 18-25 minutes, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork chops not touching the bone registers 145° F. The cook time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops. Be careful not to overcook the pork chops or they may dry out.

5. 05

   Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes and then serve.
