    Oven Baked Pork Chops are not only super easy, but they require just a short amount of hands-on time and then a little bit of wait while the oven does all the work. It’s full of succulent flavor and is deliciously tender.

    Another plus is that pork tends to be on the cheaper side, but that doesn’t mean that you’re skimping on nutrition.

    What Temperature Should Pork Chops Be Cooked At?

    We prefer to cook pork chops in the oven at a temperature of 400F or 200C. With this specific recipe we used 1” bone-in pork chops and we cooked them for 20 minutes at 400F, and about 5 minutes under the broiler to get a nice golden color.

    How Long Does Pork Chops Cook at 400F/200C?

    A 1” thick pork chop will cook at 400F/200C for 20-25 minutes. Your best best is investing in a meat thermometer. We recommend THIS one, but it doesn’t need to be fancy. THIS inexpensive one will also work well.

    So, how long do you cook pork chops in the oven at 350 degrees? When cooked at a lower temperate, your pork chops will cook about 30-35 minutes.

    Pork chops are cooked and ready when they reach an internal temperature of 145F/63C. 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 you’re wondering why 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, so that is a start, but here are a few pro tips for getting succulent and juicy pork chops every single time:

    1. Always bring meat to room temperature before cooking.
    2. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops to avoid over-cooking.
    3. Once you take it out of the oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
    4. If you prepare ahead of time, a simple marinade will also do wonders for a juicier result.

    It’s easy to get tender and juicy pork chops if you follow these tips.

    Should You Cover Pork Chops When Baking Them In The Oven?

    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 they’re done cooking, you should cover them with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to settle back into the meat.

        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.

      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!
