How do you keep pork chops juicy while cooking in the oven?

1. Choose the right pork chops. Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful and less likely to dry out during cooking. If you must use boneless chops, look for ones that are at least 1-inch thick.

2. Preheat the oven. This will help to create a nice crispy crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.

3. Season the chops. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

4. Sear the chops. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chops and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side. This will help to create a crust and lock in the flavor.

5. Bake the chops. Transfer the seared chops to a baking dish. Bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Pork chops are considered safe to eat at an internal temperature of 145° F, however they will be tender and juicy at a temperature of 160°.

6. Let the chops rest. Remove the chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy pork chops.
