Ingredients
  

Bone-in pork chops
  • 4 bone-in pork chops 1 inch thick
Honey soy garlic glaze
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
Seasoning
  • 0.25 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep the oven and bake the chops
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F, then line a sheet pan with foil.
  2. Mix honey, soy sauce, and garlic until combined.
  3. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Brush the honey-soy mixture generously over each pork chop.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, flipping and re-basting halfway through as the glaze caramelizes and turns shiny.
  6. Rest the pork chops for 3 minutes, then serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: start checking at 20 minutes—bone-in chops can vary, and the best texture happens when they hit 145°F just as the glaze turns glossy. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently in a 300°F oven until warmed through. Freezing isn’t recommended for best glaze texture. Dietary swap: use tamari instead of soy sauce to make the glaze gluten-free.
