Ok sounds great BUT why are we preheating the oven if we are frying????????
Susie
Looks so yummy! The preheating oven threw me off, had to read a couple times 🙂
It’s still throwing me off:) I’m easily confused though! I love brown sugar glazes, these look really good!
I was confused too, so I clicked on the link to the “recipe adapted from” and it took me to the receipe where the rest of the instructions can be found.
This looks yummy. In fact I might just try it tonight for supper.
So sorry about that! You don’t need to preheat the oven. I updated the recipe. Thanks for pointing that out!
Sorry about that! It has been fixed. 🙂
Hi Alice!
Sorry about that! We fixed it!
I am so sorry! The recipe has been fixed. Thanks!
Looks yummy! I need a few pork chop recipes in my box!
These are super good! I let my pork chops marinate in the fridge all day while I was at work. Then I came home and grilled them!
They were so moist and my daughter asked for a second helping which is rare.
I make this recipe all the time! I love how as long as you have pork chops, you’re good to go because you probably already have the rest of the ingredients in your pantry. =] This is definitely one of my go to meals.
o dear this looks so good!!!
I’m always looking for new pork recipes. Thanks ladies.
This was so easy and yummy! Thanks for sharing the goodness.
Never found such informative articles

Just made this for dinner. PERFECT! Awesome combo of sweet & savory. I used it to season pork shoulder.
Made this for dinner last night and it was so YUMMY!!! My hubby and son loved it too! Thank you for sharing it!
Made this tonight for dinner. Apparently Med/High is too hot on my stove. Just about the time I went to turn my pork chops, I began to smell burning sugar. Turned down the heat to cook the other side. They weren’t ruined, but I’m not sure I got the best flavor. Luckily, the juices from the cooling pork chops thinned the carmelized sugar mixture a bit, so it was easy enough to get them out of the pan and clean up. Might try again with lower heat and thinner chops, so the cooking time will be less.
Would Regular Brown Sugar Work In This Recipe? I Dont Have Light Brown On Hand.
Regular brown sugar will work great!
Made this recipe yesterday. It was a hit! My kids & husband LOVED it!
Well, as a 27 year old divorcee, I ashamed to say that I’m a terrible cook. My mother tried, but this girl here just was not into the cooking when I was a kid. Now that I’m on my own, I have to feed myself since McDonald’s is just too hard on the guts and budget. Lol
This recipe came out wonderful for me. Easy to follow for someone uncomfortable at a stove. I also had the stove a little too high so the sugar started to burn just as I was finishing the chops, but the glaze the sugar made on them was delicious. Sweet, but not too much with the paprika and pepper.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ll be coming back here for more easy to make and learn recipes. New start, new adventure I say!
I am making tonight. Can’t wait!
Worst recipie ever. Burned 5 pork chops every time and had to clean out my pan after each one. I dont know what stove unr cooking on that 5 min on each side cooks a pork chop through. Horrible wasted 20$
Yes, you do need to preheat. The original recipe calls for browning the pork chops for 5 minutes each side in a skillet and then baking in an oven at 350° for 15 minutes in the skillet if it’s oven safe or in a baking pan if not. If your skillet is Teflon coated and\or has a plastic handle it isn’t oven safe.
Made these tonight and loved them!! Will definitely keep this recipe as a favorite.
Made these tonight and they were a hit. Very delicious and moist. I let mines marinate for about 6 hours. Will definitely make again.
I didn’t have any paprika, so I used Cayenne Pepper; it was wonderful.
Does it have a lot of flavor?
The rub is a nice sweet glaze when cooked.
I am currently in the process of making the yummy looking pork chops. I can’t stop eating the sugar mixture :,D It’s sooo good! I think next time I will add a little less pepper but I am pretty sure the pepper will cook out a little during the making of the pork chops. So excited for them to be done! 5/5 I will come back and add another comment seeing if my picky little sister like them??!!
So glad you loved the sugar mixture! 🙂 And we hope the family loved the pork chops!
Can you use this recipe with crock pot recipe ??
Can you use bone in pork chops?
Yes, but remember that Bone-in pork chops typically cook a bit faster than boneless chops.
I love this recipe, but didn’t it used to be an oven/sheet pan meal? I’d love those instructions back too! Or even for air fryer/instant pot/slow cooker!
We have similar recipes – and the cook time is probably similar if you want to make it in a sheet pan! Check out our Sheet Pan Italian Pork Chops or Sheet Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes.
