Preheat the oven to 400℉. If using a baking sheet, line it with a parchment paper and set aside. I used a baking dish that didn't require lining.
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well till combined.
Pat dry the chops with a paper towel and rub the marinade generously on both sides of the pork chops.
Transfer to the baking dish and bake at 400℉ for 30 minutes (because it's bone-in). If using boneless, cook for about 15 minutes.
3 minutes before cooking time is over, turn the oven to broil so that the chops have a charred look or brown. Be careful not to overcook the pork because it will dry out.
The pork is fully cooked when the internal temperature reads 145℉.
Remove from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving,

Always pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel before applying the marinade. This helps the seasoning adhere better to the meat and prevents excess moisture during baking.

Pork can dry out quickly if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 145℉. This ensures the meat is cooked through but still juicy and tender.

If you're using thin or boneless pork chops, remember that they will take slightly less time to cook.

After baking, change the oven option to broil to give it a charred look and crisp edges.

Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes after baking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more flavorful and tender meat. Don’t skip this crucial step!
