Notes
Tips for Crispy Baked Pork Chops- Bake pork chops on a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for best results. This allows air to circulate around the entire pork chop, making both sides nice and crispy.- The thicker the pork chop, the longer it'll take to cook. Keep that in mind when picking out the kind of chops to use! - If you don't have a plastic bag, you can add the breadcrumbs and seasonings to a shallow bowl and dredge the pork chops in the bowl instead.- Allow the chops to rest for at last 5 minutes after cooking! This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making th pork chops nice and tender and juicy!
