Notes
- Buy pork chops at least 1-inch thick so they stay juicy when cooked.
- Leftovers keep well, making this dish great for meal planning
- Dry the pork chops before seasoning them to get maximum flavor absorption
- Be generous with seasonings, especially brown sugar, to create a balanced and flavorful glaze.
- Flip pork chops after 15 minutes of baking to allow both sides equal time in the glaze.
- Let the chops cool slightly before serving. This allows the glaze to cool slightly and makes the meat more juicy and flavorful
- For a crisp glaze, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking with the light on to keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
