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.
- This is a staple recipe, you can serve these easy pork chops with just about any side dish!
- Bone in pork chops have the most flavor, so your taste buds will thank you 🙂
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.

I made this last night and – WOW! Absolutely delicious. So easy to put together. This will be my new go-to for pork. I think I’m going to make a batch of the seasoning to use on other proteins.
Thank you for the review! I agree, that seasoning can go on just about anything 🙂
Incredible! Once a week request from my family.
We love hearing that! 🙂
This recipe is easy to make and is delicious!
These chops were absolutely delicious, coming from a country girl in Texas! Juice and tender! Yum, Yum.
Happy to hear that Tammy, thanks so much for coming back to leave a review!
Made this 2x already, so tender and tasty. Made extra seasoning last week. Gonna try chicken thighs tonight
I used this recipe today for dinner. It is excellent! The seasoning is perfect. Thank you.
You’re welcome, thanks for coming back to leave a review!
Very excellent flavor and tenderness. Thanks for posting this to use! From Charlotte, Michigan
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Very good, my husband loved them.
OMG, these were the most delicious, tender and juicy pork chops I have ever made. Will definitely be making these again.
What a great review Denise! Thanks so much for coming back to leave it, we really appreciate it 🙂
So easy and so delicious, did not change a thing. Will be a stand by favorite.
Amazing! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. We appreciate your support! 🙂
Yum yum yum!! Wow. Amazing these were a big hit at my house.
That’s so wonderful to hear! Thanks for giving our recipe a try and for coming back to share how it went! 🙂
Can I substitute Dijon mustard for the dry mustard?
Sure. Just rub a little on the chops before you put the seasonings on.
Best tasting, very juicy pork chops!!
Glad you enjoyed them Patrice 🙂
Excellent and juicy pork chops!
I want to make these tomorrow. If you pay fry for a few minutes, would you coat with the seasoning before or after pan frying?
You should season the chops before pan frying to lock everything in.
These are the best pork chops! Mine normally came out dry and tasteless because I sorted the boneless loin cut. What a difference the bone- in and a flavorful rub can make. Thank you for sharing.
You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Can I cover them with foil? Trying to keep my new stove clean!
You can, but the chops might not brown as much. They will cook the same though.
Chops turned out way more than 5 stars.The seasoning was perfect as well as a side of green beans.
I made this the other night for my husband and I and WOW!
This recipe was so easy and so flippin tasty!!
Thank you!
You’re welcome Stephanie!
This was the most wonderful and juicy pork chop and my husband said it was a keeper🧡 thank you for sharing
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for the review 🙂
Great baked recipe! Was so shocked by the taste and juiciness of the pork chops. My husband gave it his stamp of approval. I used brown sugar instead of the coconut sugar and did the broil at the end. Perfect! Must try. Very easy and clean up was quick! Will be cooking this way again! Great substitute on those nights when it’s too cold to grill.
Thanks for the amazing review P.J., glad you and your husband enjoyed the pork chops!
I was very pleased with this recipe. Pork chops were very moist, juicy and flavorful. Delicious 😋
I will definitely make them again.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe Kandace!
Just made this recipe for the first time tonight for me & my husband. It came out SO good! Loved it. Wonderful taste. Moist pork chops full of flavor. I will definitely make it again soon. . A great recipe to make for dinner guests too. I followed the recipe fully except for two minor changes: 1) used brown sugar instead of coconut sugar & didn’t use thyme as I’m not big on that spice. So glad I saw this recipe!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe!
Excellent and super easy! Thank you!
Such an excellent mix of spice for these bone in chops! Used parchment paper and the juices were excellent after sitting 3-5 minutes. Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome!
Great recipe! They were delicious and the most perfectly cooked pork chops I’ve ever made.
So happy to hear that! Thanks for coming back to leave a review, we truly appreciate it 🙂
Delicious thank you so much for this recipe, I used brown sugar. I also felt like smoked paprika overtook the dish so I’ll use regular next time, still GREAT flavor and will continue to use this. Thank you
I loved this! Much healthier than frying but had the taste of a fried porkchop. Definitely a keeper recipe for me!
So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for taking the time to come leave a review! 🙂
I made this twice in the last two weeks. Easy and delicious. Super juicy too! I’ll keep this recipe in rotation for sure!
Happy to hear that Beth!
These were a real winner in my house!!! Delicious!!
Happy to hear that Linda! Thanks for coming back to leave a review, we really appreciate it 🙂
I made these last night. They were a hit in my house! Quick and easy. The taste was amazing. Five stars for sure.
I just made these using my own spice rub recipe. I did turn them over just because I thought they needed more browning. Delicious! So nice to cook these in the oven especially as we have a cold wet rain tonight and no one wants to grill!
I made my husband tonight and we’re giving it a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ meal. 145 perfect
Absolutely delicious!
I made this recipe for my husband and myself. They were so tender and juicy. I used leftover meat from the chops to make BBQ and it was so delicious. I will keep and use this recipe to use over and over again. I AM THINKING OF USING FOR boneless chicken breasts.
Glad you enjoyed these Angela!
Such an easy recipe! And they were juicy and so tasteful, just amazing. Will use this recipe again
Going to try this recipe tonight. You don’t mention turning the chops over to the other side during baking. Is that correct?
Correct, you don’t need to.
Made these tonight. They were easy and delicious. I will definitely be making them again 🙂
Simply, Amazing! So quick and easy, and that spice rub is delicious! Made them the first time tonight on double rib chops. That rub is addictive. I want to put it on everything!
Glad you enjoyed it Bill 😊
These were very easy and quick to make and turned out delicious. I did make two adjustments because I didn’t have the ingredients. I used brown sugar instead of coconut and cumin instead of ground mustard. It was still delicious. I’m going to try the original way next time
This recipe is the best oven baked pork chops I have ever made. I added some other spices to the mix. They turned out tender,juicy and delicious. A definite winner!!!
Just had this for dinner and I’m so thrilled I have a recipe that doesn’t dry out the pork. I made a few changes because I didn’t have ground mustard and I also had bone in pork chops that were only 1/2″ thick. I rinsed the pork, dried with paper towel, brushed olive oil first then spicy brown mustard, then spices. I cooked at 400 for exactly 9 minutes then broil at 500 for exactly 1 minute, let it rest 5 minutes (hard to do because its smelled so good). Perfect. Thanks!
Excellent moist pork! Loved it!!
Love this recipe very moist and delicious every time thank you for sharing this recipe with me it is the best one I used so far
great recipe that has become my go to. i use a splenda packet instead of the coconut sugar. hubby says 5 stars!
Fabulous! Easy, and definitely the most tender pork chops I’ve ever made!! A “keeper” for sure. Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for the review, we really appreciate it 🙂
We tried this recipe for six chops and our guests were over the moon about the results!
You’re welcome, I hope you enjoy it!
Instructions were very easy to follow.
My family enjoyed the pork chops A lot.
The tip to brown them before cooking in the oven made them look like I cooked them on a skillet.
I enjoyed reading this page and will come back for additional recipes.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Tried this according to the recipe and it was great. I did brine my pork chops for a few hours in advance of cooking because I always brine my pork and chicken and lowered the oven temp by 25 degrees as my oven tends to run a little hot. I browned in an oven proof skillet on both sides first and just transferred it directly to the oven to finish. I have a similar recipe for boneless pork chops that is really good but the Chile powder definitely added a great new flavor to this dish.
Wonderful recipe. Needed a couple adjustments due to missing ingredients. Brown sugar and red pepper instead of cocoanut sugar and red pepper instead of chile powder. Still amazing. Bravo!! Definitely a keeper. Thanks!!
Never had a better baked pork chop. My diet just had a drastic change and this can make worth finding this recipe for lots of foods.!!!
Best pork chops ever! Very flavorful! The family loved them.
How long do you broil them at the end ?
Just a couple of minutes to brown the top.
I will leave the thyme out of this recipe next time, otherwise it would have been great!
Very juicy mouth watering pork chops with this recipe. Also very easy & fast. Gives the impression that one spent lots of hours preparing this meal.
I have made this probably 10+ times and it is so perfect! I use bone in pork chops from Trader Joe’s and craves this weekly!
Amazing!
