What temperature should you cook pork chops at?

We prefer to cook pork chops in the oven at a temperature of 400 degrees. With this specific recipe we used 1” bone-in pork chops and we cooked them for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, and about 5 minutes under the broiler to get a nice golden color.

How long do pork chops cook at 400 degrees?

A 1” thick pork chop will cook at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Your best best is investing in a meat thermometer. We recommend this one, it doesn’t need to be fancy.
Pork chops are cooked and ready when they reach an internal temperature of 145F. This is the best way to tell if pork chops are done in the oven.

How do you cook pork chops without drying them out?

Nobody likes tough pork chops, so if your pork chops are tough – the most likely answer is that they are overcooked.
Bone-in pork chops will be juicier than boneless pork chops in most cases, but you should always bring meat to room temperature before cooking, and use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops to avoid over-cooking.

Should you cover pork chops when baking them?

It’s best to cook pork chops uncovered in the oven. This will allow them to brown a bit on top, while leaving them succulent inside!
When done cooking, cover them with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to settle back into the meat.

    Absolutely the best pork chops I’ve ever had easy easy I even put r Ranch powder in my mashed potatoes to die for this is my second time in three weeks the best do it don’t add salt

    1. I did not cover them and they came out a bit dry. I think the next time I will cover them until the broiler step at the end.
      Otherwise, they were very flavorful and worth another attempt.

    1. What timing would you recommend for 1/5″ thick boneless pork chops and broiler seeing high or low?!

    My husband loved this! My grocery store had only thin cut bone-in chops left so I chose a 2” thick boneless. I cooked it for about 1/2 hour until it reached 140 degrees internal temp before broiling. It was very juicy, tender and tasty. Thank you!
