ingredients
- 680.38-793.78 g pork chops (bone in, 3/4-inch thick rib chops, trimmed of fat)
- 2.46 ml pepper
- 14.78 ml canola oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 78.78 ml orange juice
- 118.29 ml barbecue sauce
directions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Using 2 t. oil, brown the pork chops until beginning to brown, about 1-2 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Using last teaspoons of oil, cook onion until softened (3-4 minutes). Add garlic; cook about 30 seconds more. Add juice and cook until it's nearly evaporated, 30-60 seconds. Stir in bbq sauce. Return chops to pan, turning several times to coat with sauce.
- Transfer pan to the oven and bake until done. Recipe says 145 degrees on instant read thermometer, 6-10 min, barely pink. (I don't want any pink in my chops. Bleck.) Turn them over, only once, during cooking time to produce more tender chops.

What a great recipe. I used apple juice in place of orange for DH and I have to say that it came out delicious. We both loved the flavor but the tenderloin chops (what I had) were on the tough side. This might not happen with the bone in chops ask for and I'm not blaming that on the recipe at all since I made the change. I've already been ask to make it again soon. Made for Adopt a Tag '09.
