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.

Easy and delicious
They are juicy tender and never dry!
Excellent!!
Best pork chop recipe ever not dry and so easy to make love that there are ingredients you have will make again and again thank you so good
This recipe is the only recipe I use to bake pork chops. They come out amazing every time. I also cut up carrots and onions and sweet potatoes, and toss them with olive oil and the seasonings and put them right on the same pan with the pork chops… add a salad and you’ve got dinner.
That’s amazing to hear Kathy, I love the one-pan meal idea!
Great recipe!
I have used this recipe before with great success and am using it for dinner tonight. So easy and reliably good!
This recipe was very good and moist.
Awesome recipes and very delicious great recipes
Thank you!
Easy peasy.
I added a bit of garlic powder and seasoned while they were defrosting.
I flipped them 1x with 5mins left in cooking.
Delicious and tender.
My husband said this is his favorite pork chop recipe (and we’ve tried several). I omitted the coconut sugar because I didn’t have any on hand but the rub is so delicious! The pork chops turned out perfectly tender and juicy. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again and again
Glad you both enjoyed the recipe!
I subbed in brown sugar and it was great!
Great taste! Easy to do!
Was delicious. Thank you for the recipe, will definitely make this a night meal on a planner..
Oh my! Made my chops according to the recipe. So delicious!!!
I have to admit I was a total doubter. I thought this was going to be yet another baked pork chop recipe promising juicy pork chops, but getting dry, chewy, awful pork chops. I WAS WRONG!!! These pork chops are so so so good! I didn’t have chili powder, but I looked on the internet to what I could do, and I did have all the ingredients to make my own chili powder, and it worked great. Oh my gosh, these pork chops were so tasty and juicy! I have two left over from last night and I’m counting the minutes until dinner tonight! Thank you!!!
P.S. Also, I cannot eat gluten, so it was so great to find a recipe that doesn’t have any kind of flour in it (I don’t love any substitutes for wheat flour).
You’re very welcome! Thanks for the review, we appreciate it 🙂
I made this last night and it was awesome. My husband commented on how juicy the meat was. I made it exactly as stated in the recipe, except that I omitted the sweetener completely. The chops were 1 1/2″ and cooked to 145 degrees in the 25 minutes recommended. Thanks.
This was fantastic! I used garlic olive oil spray to coat the pork chop. Omitted the sugar and seared for 2 minutes on each side prior to baking. I will add this to my repeat recipes. Thanks!
Recipe is perfect for a bachelor with little cooking experience. Turned out perfect!
It was delicious. Seasoning was well received by fam. Left out sugar and used Dijon mustard to substitute for ground mustard. I spread mustard on chops, then sprinkled chops with reasoning. But I can taste why you add coconut sugar.. to give a little balance. Next time I’ll add it. Family still liked it and enjoyed it without coconut sugar. Lol
Glad you still enjoyed it and hopefully it’s even better next time!
My son is autistic and extremely picky textures are everything to him. This is the only baked pork chop he will eat. I did add a little more seasoning, so delicious. Thanks for a great recipe.
You’re very welcome, so glad it worked for your family!
Simple recipe! These were the juiciest pork chops I have ever made. Quick & delicious 😋 This will forever be my go to recipe!
My grandson is very picky about his food. He loved these pork chops and asked me to use this seasoning rub on chicken. Didn’t have coconut sugar and substituted brown sugar.
I love hearing that, so glad your grandson liked the seasoning!
I’ll let you know how chicken turns out.
I have googled and tried so many online cooks recipes for ” Tender and Juicy” pork chops but they always disappointed. I actually gave up making bone in pork chops because they never came out tender and juicy until I decided to try one more time for my son and husbands sake because they love pork chops. I stumbled upon your recipe and expected nothing until my husband said WOW as he showed me a slice of his cut pork chop and said “This is how a juicy pork chop should look” and then when he took a bite he said “Bookmark this now”. Thank you so much I finally have a definitive pork chop recipe.
You’re so very welcome! Thank you for the amazing review, I’m glad you found our recipe for your family :).
The spice blend for pork chops is PERFECT. I halved the recipe for only 2 chops. But HOLY SCHMOLY 😍 . I had my chop on a bed of sour cream mashed potatoes and made a gravy from the drippings. I’m in heaven!
Sounds amazing Jane, thanks for coming back to leave this review 😀
This seasoning is perfect for pork chops! I appreciate the notes that explain timing by thickness.
Glad you enjoyed it and found the notes helpful!
I DON’T cook, I EAT LOL But I am trying to change that & this easy recipe was great! Thank you I am proud of myself ☺️
Great job!
Great flavor. My husband says this recipe is a keeper.
Used a little brown sugar to replace coconut sugar, otherwise followed the recipe. Recipe was easy to follow and required ingredients on hand.
Absolutely delicious!
Will definitely make again and again!
Happy to hear it turned out great and you’ll be making it again! Thanks for the review, we appreciate it 🙂
I just posted a review and forgot to add that I cut up carrots and onions and sweet potatoes and white potatoes and tossed them with olive oil and seasoning and put them between the two pork on the same pan. All I had to do was add a salad!!
Sounds perfect Kathy!
First time using this recipe, and they came out perfect! I used bone-in pork chops that I buy from my local farmer at the farmers market. I used brown sugar for the sweetener. I did not have the mustard. These pork chops were so moist and so delicious. Looking forward to having them again!
I love this recipe and putting the oven up to Broil for the last 5 minutes was the perfect finishing touch.
The seasoning was great but some how zi way over cooked them. They were tasty but dry. I’ll try recipe again but keep a closer eye on temp of meat.
Yes, you have to watch them carefully at the end and pull at the 145° recommended or they can overcook quickly.
I made this recipe. I cannot believe how easy this was to make. It is very quick and easy. I will make this again.
FANTASTIC!!! I subbed brown sugar for coconut sugar, and kosher salt for sea salt b/c that’s what I had. My chops were not thick – maybe 3/4-inch. 13 minutes at 400, then under broiler for 4 more minutes. They were PERFECT and tender, juicy, and tasty. LOVE this recipe.
Sounds perfect Mary, thanks for the review!
I always hear you should brine pork chops first, do you recommend that with this recipe?
With this recipe it’s not necessary. If you don’t overcook pork chops they turn out nice and juicy and the seasoning mix will give you plenty of flavor.
These were great! Super juicy. Thank you, I had out of town company so I wanted them to turn out well and they did!
Happy to hear that!
Great recipe! Will be making again:)
Fantastic taste and super moist, will be cooking again soon. Thanks for the great recipe
You’re welcome, glad you will be using this again:)
This recipe was delicious! Restaurant quality for sure! In addition, the recipe was easy to follow and easy to make. A definite keeper.
Love hearing that Kelly, thanks for the review!
This is a SUPERIOR RECIPE! I didn’t have dry mustard, but used Tumeric instead. Also like a Lil mo heat, so I added 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder! Thanks for this D-Licious recipe!
You’re very welcome!
Wow!! These were so easy and so delicious!! I substituted one teaspoon of brown sugar for the coconut sugar and used some thyme leaves that I had dried. My husband said this is a “keeper recipe” and he is right!
Definitely a keeper, thanks for the review!
Just made this tonight and it was delicious!! Followed the recipe to the letter, and just broiled for a minute at the end. So moist and savory, can’t wait to make it again, thanks!
You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I just used the recipe for reference in how long to cook bone-in pork chops in an oven, I just used my own creation of lemon preserves and worstchester sauce. I’m sure this recipe will be marvelous and I’ll try it next time I cook chops.
Very pleased with the pork chop. Moist and flavorful. I pan-seared the chops for 2 mins on each side before applying the rub and baking. This is a very important step to look and texture. I enhanced the rub with a few additional spices. The time and temp turned out perfect.
Great tip Lorre, thank you!
Excellent Flavor!!
My husband said they were the best pork chops he has ever had. He eats a lot at many different restaurants. I my self do not eat chops but my husband is very picky and hates dry chops. He said these were super moist. Thanks for giving me something easy to make for dinner.
Thank you for coming back to leave a review, we really appreciate it :). So happy to hear that your husband enjoyed our recipe and that it was easy to make.
I was in need of a new quick healthy bone in pork chop recipe, and this was a wonderful surprise. I look forward to other recipes in the future. Thank you for wonderfully moist and tasty chops!
You’re welcome! We hope you find some other favorites on our site as well 🙂
Tender, juicy & packed with flavor! New go-to pork recipe
I substituted ground mustard for Dijon mustard and thyme for Italian seasonings as I didn’t have those at home.
Came out wonderful!
Sounds delicious Nicole, we’ll have to try those substitutions!
I was looking for an easy pork chop recipe to have for dinner last night. I saw this, read the reviews and decided to go for it. I wasn’t excited about the chili powder in the spices but went with the rub as printed only changing the coconut sugar to brown sugar and adding some garlic powder. I could not believe how moist, juicy and flavorful they were. The chili powder was good in the rub. I will definitely Pin this recipe and add it to my rotation.
Happy to hear that Paula, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Straight Forward Recipe!!! Absolutely loved the flavor…. (Omitted the Coconut Sugar)
Best and simplest Pork Chops I’ve ever cooked.
Really happy to hear you enjoyed these pork chops! We’ve got some other easy pork recipes you might like as well! And a new grilled pork chop recipe coming soon, too! Thanks for coming back to leave a review! 🙂
about to try it. Let’s see what happens. I like spices.
The pork chops were tender juicy and delicious. I have been looking for a good baked pork chop recipe and this one hit it out the park. I did read the reviews and added a bit more seasoning and I will be cooking these again!
Glad you found our recipe, thanks for coming back to leave a review!
Ok. So I’m going to be the only one not raving. These were VERY juicy and tender. Five stars for that. However my husband and I both agree the seasoning was bland. I followed the recipe exactly. I rubbed the seasoning in a little. It apparently wasn’t quite enough. Maybe I’m missing something.
Thanks for giving our recipe a try. Happy to hear we hit the mark on tender and juicy. Bummer you felt it was a little under flavored though. We appreciate your feedback.
