Tips:

  • To achieve perfectly crispy pork chops, pat them dry before seasoning and cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent steaming.
  • Use a combination of garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for a classic and flavorful seasoning blend.
  • Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with oil or butter until golden brown on both sides. This will create a delicious crust and lock in the juices.
  • Add a flavorful liquid, such as apple cider or chicken broth, to the skillet after searing the pork chops. This will help create a delicious sauce and prevent the pork chops from drying out.
  • Finish the pork chops in the oven to ensure they are cooked through. This will also help the sauce thicken and caramelize.
  • Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
