Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Bone-in pork chops will give you more flavor than boneless pork chops, and they will also stay juicier during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well. Pork chops are a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to season them generously. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and juicy.
- Serve the pork chops with a flavorful sauce. A simple pan sauce made with red onion confit is a great option.
