Calories: 498kcal
Ingredients
For the pork chops
- 8 bone-in pork chops about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
For the honey garlic glaze
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the 8 pork chops dry and rub them all over with the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season both sides with the 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
- Arrange the chops on the baking sheets so they are not touching, which lets them brown instead of steam. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are nearly cooked through and reach about 140°F (60°C).
- While they bake, make the glaze. Melt the ½ cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the 8 cloves minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the ½ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, then simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Brush the chops generously with the glaze and switch the oven to broil. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tops are caramelized and sticky and the chops reach 145°F (63°C).
- Let the chops rest for 5 minutes, then brush with any remaining glaze and serve.
