Tom's Down To The Bone Pork Chops! image

Are you sick 'n tired of dried-out, tough pork chops? I was, until I came up with this recipe. The trick to cooking meat & poultry is to know your internal temperatures. That is why you should invest in an instant-read, digital meat thermometer. I will NOT cook without one. And another thing people don't realize is that today's pork does NOT have to cook till it gets to 160 to 170 degrees F internal temperature. You might as well give it to the dog!

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 thick-cut bone-in pork chops
1 to 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 box panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preparation method
  • Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 40 mins
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with the nonstick spray. Put a good amount of the bread crumbs on to a big plate.
  • Make sure the chops are close to room temperature before cooking. It's always a good idea to let any type of meat get almost to room temp before cooking.
  • Rinse off the chops with water & dry them off with paper towels. The secret is to get these as dry as you can.
  • Take the mayo & season it up with your favorite seasoning, like Cajun, horseradish, garlic & herb, or any nice blend that you like.
  • Brush the chops generously with the mayo. Then put them on the plate with the panko bread crumbs. Gently cover the chops with the bread crumbs.
  • Lift up the chop, gently shake off any excess bread crumbs & lay it in the 9x13 pan. Repeat with all 6 chops.
  • Place in oven & bake for 35 minutes. Then after the 35 minutes you will need to take an internal temp reading with the meat thermometer.
  • Put the meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chop without touching the bone. Take a reading, you are looking for 145 degrees F.
  • Place back in oven till you reach 145 degrees F. After you reach 145 degrees F, take the pan out of the oven & cover it loosely with foil. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Grab a beer.
  • After the 10 to 15 minutes is up, you are ready to serve them. I like to serve these with some garlic smashed potatoes & grilled asparagus.
  • These chops will be juicy & tender you won't believe it! So grab another beer & get those chops DOWN TO THE BONE!
