Notes

- Pork Chops: Bone-in pork chops add extra flavor and moisture. Boneless pork chops are an option; however, they are more likely to dry out.

- Olive Oil: Helps the seasoning stick and keeps the pork chops tender.

- Seasonings: Onion powder, garlic salt, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper create a simple, savory base. You can also add paprika for color and smokiness.

- Barbecue Sauce: Use your favorite store-bought or homemade sauce. For a “baked-in” flavor, brush the chops halfway through cooking and again at the end. Use your favorite store-bought brand or homemade. A thicker sauce clings best during baking.

- Liquid smoke (optional) – Just a drop adds that “off the grill” smoky taste.
