Imagine sinking your teeth into thick, juicy pork chops, smothered in a rich, sticky bourbon glaze. It’s a match made in heaven, folks. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make.

First, let’s talk about prep time. You can make the brine and bourbon glaze ahead of time, which cuts down on hands-on time. Just refrigerate them in airtight containers until you’re ready to use them.

Now, let’s get started. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating up, season your pork chops with a pinch of salt and pepper. Don’t be shy – you want that flavor to pop.

Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sear those pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re nicely browned. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

Now it’s time for the magic to happen. In the same skillet, add the bourbon glaze and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s thickened and syrupy.

Place the pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush that gorgeous bourbon glaze all over them. You can’t have too much of a good thing, right?

Pop that baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

And that’s it. Your Baked Pork Chops with Bourbon Glaze are ready to devour. Serve them with some creamy mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, and you’ve got a meal fit for a king.
