Why you’ll love this recipe
- The perfect homemade pork chop seasoning makes these chops next-level good.
- It’s an easy way to cook juicy pork chops without firing up the grill or messing up your stovetop.

Ingredient notes
Pork chops – Thicker cuts are best for juicy chops, so I suggest using bone in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for this recipe.
Add a quick side – You can easily add in another sheet pan with the pork chops to roast some veggies for a side dish. Just pick veggies like broccoli, cauliflower or brussels sprouts that will cook in about 30 minutes.
The seasoning – You might want to make more of the seasoning after trying it, so go ahead and use it on chicken or steak too :).
Tips from an expert home chef
- Don’t skip the resting step. Allow the chops to rest for a full 5 minutes to retain the juices in every bite!
- If you want a little brown crust on the outside of the pork chops here are two options:
- Sear them in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes on both sides before putting them in the oven.
- Turn the oven to broil at the end of cooking to brown the chops at the end.
If you do either of these, reduce the baking cook time by 4-5 minutes so the chops don’t try out.

Easy (and Juicy!) Oven Baked Bone In Pork Chops
Perfectly cooked (and juicy!) oven baked bone in pork chops in around 30 minutes. Only 5 minutes of prep to make the best homemade pork chop seasoning and toss them in the oven. Never-dry, these are cooked to the perfect temperature in the oven.
Ingredients
For the pork chop seasoning:
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp coconut sugar, Omit for low carb or whole30. Can sub another sweetener of choice.
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
For the baked pork chops:
- 4 bone in pork chops, (about 1.5 inches thick, see recipe notes)
- 4 tbsp olive oil, (or other cooking oil of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and grease a baking pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the seasoning mix by combining the seasonings in a small bowl and mixing.
- Place the pork chops on the baking pan and drizzle oil over each pork chop. Rub (or brush) the oil over both sides of the pork chops.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with the seasoning mix.
- Place the pork chops in the oven to bake for 25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach a temperature of 145° Fahrenheit.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow the pork chops to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- The cooking time of 25 minutes in this recipe is for bone-in pork chops that are approximately 1.5 inches thick. The cooking time will vary based on the size of your pork chops and your oven. Use this time recommendation as a starting point and adjust as needed. Watch your pork chops carefully during cooking to avoid over or under-cooking them. I highly recommend using an instant-read thermometer.
- As a general rule of thumb, bone-in pork chops need to cook for about 8-10 minutes per ½ inch of thickness in a 400° Fahrenheit preheated oven.

My family liked this very much.
I used the recipie ingredients as a marinade over 48 hours on 1+ inch pork chops,
plus a litttle more salt. I allowed the chops to come to room temp (30 minutes) and baked them in a stainless steel fry pan for 21- 22 minutes. They temped 135 degrees so I LIDDED and rested them for 5+ mintutes on a cutting board. They reached 145 degrees with a barely pink center, SUPER JUICY
Easy and delicious!
Very easy simple to follow recipe and quite tasty. However use a meat thermometer and start checking your pork chops closer to 18 minutes
This is my go-to recipe for pork chops. It always comes out just right. The chops can be cooked along with baked sweet potatoes. What an easy meal.
Perfectly simple and delicious! I heeded the note about cooking time since my chops were a little thinner, and checked them after 18 minutes. They came out perfectly cooked and so good! Thanks!
We will definitely be making this recipe again!
Beautiful seasoning, I did half of the chili powder because I can’t handle heat very well, but I could’ve probably kept it as it was and it would’ve been fine. I was worried as it was my first time cooking pork chops, but this will have me making them plenty of times in the future with perfect confidence! Thank you! ♥
You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Too spicy for my taste. Cooked 5 center cut pork chops at 400 for 22 minutes and they were over cooked
I sounds like maybe you didn’t adjust the cooking time correctly for the thickness of your pork chops. Different chili powders can be spicy so yes, if you used a chili powder that was too spicy for your taste the pork chops would have turned out that way.
excellent recipe did not season apart from salt and pepper and olive oil.
seared for 2 minutes both sides and placed on rack above drip tray.
The pork chops were delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
This recipe is easy to follow with delicious results! The pork chops were tasty and moist – not dried out at all. I didn’t sear/brown or broil them and the color was fine – the spices make an appealing (and tasty) finish. Loved it!
Love this recipe. My thick chop go to!
I quit making pork chops because they were always dried out and boring. NOT this recipe!! Quick, Easy, Juicy and Delicious!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
10 STARS!!
I’m back to making pork chops again!
Super delicious! Remarkably juicy and flavourful.
Easy and delicious!!
These pork chops were so delicious and juicy!! My son raved about them. Thanks again!
I would give this recipe a five star rating. I bought extra large pork chops at a very nice grocery store. They couldn’t have been any better. We can’t wait to have them again. Thanks for the great recipe.
You’re very welcome, glad you’ll be making them again!
liked this recipe. It’s simple for a quick dinner. I left out the coconut sugar and just used table sugar.
Fantastic. So easy. I learned from past reviews and cooked for 16 mins. Checked temps and they were 146 degrees.
This was excellent! I followed the recipe exactly as written and it didn’t disappoint! It was juicy and tender and really tasty. I will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing.
I used yellow mustard and honey, all I had. It was greaat.
I don’t usually leave reviews for recipes but I had to comment that we absolutely loved this dish. Served with apple sauce and potatoes, totally delicious!
These chops were juicy and delicious! I would adjust recipe and cook 20 minutes next time, but loved the flavor!
Yes, you definitely have to adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your chops. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Made last night with a bone in pork rib roast in the air fryer. Used a meat thermometer to ensure cooking time. Cooked potatoes in the microwave, quartered them, tossed them in a little olive oil and dried Thyme.
Halved brussels sprouts, and tossed in a little olive oil and sea salt.
Spread the veggies around the roast 30 minutes before finished. What an amazing one pan dinner!! Hubby loved it, and took the leftovers to work today! Will definitely be using this rub again!! Maybe on chicken etc.!
Very tasty and easy to prep and cook!
Great recipe, excellent flavor, easy to make. This recipe is a keeper
Easy, quick and very tasty!
Congratulations on contributing such a fantastic recipe! Fantastic juicy flavorful chops…better because bone in. So simple to make It takes no time. I’ve been making this recipe for over 2 years now after looking for an easy recipe to bake bone in chops. Today we had relief from the heat so I made them. I should probably have left mine in the oven for 15 instead of 20 minutes this time because the chops I bought were just a little over a half an inch thick. I forgot to take the thickness into the baking equation. But they weren’t overcooked or overly dry. It probably helped that I didn’t brown them first. I never use sugar …..there’s no need. My only other alteration is using garlic powder because I never keep onion powder on hand. I wouldn’t make pork chops any other way!
It’s great to hear you enjoy this recipe! Thanks so much for coming back to share!
Do you bake on both sides?
No, you don’t need to flip the pork chops.
Delicious! Thank you! : )
So good. Very easy to make and tasted delicious.
Nice juicy chops. Will make again
Great flavor profile! Perfect pork chops. Thanks for a great recipe!
You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Excellent recipe. Easy and the chops stay moist.
These were delicious. I baked mine in my air fryer, it has a bake function. It only took 20 minutes and they were perfect and the seasoning is perfect. I’ll definitely be making these again!
Supper easy recipe! And 😲 DELICIOUSNESS Factor of awesome. Premo stuff right here. Make this!
Followed the recipe exactly and these came out perfect! So juicy and delicious and great seasoning. Definitely gonna be a go-to recipe for us now.
Excellent! Didn’t use sugar as we’re trying to reduce intake.
Glad you enjoyed! We often skip the sugar as well. 🙂

And here it is

Used an oven probe meat thermometer set to 145 cooking time.
Letting them rest them rest for 5 min. Before serving.
