Baked Pork Chops

Move oven shelf is about 8-inches/20cm from the top heat element. Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C) for standard oven, or 390°F (200°C) for fan forced/convection.

Lightly grease a baking sheet/tray with oil. Line with foil or parchment paper, set aside.

Combine together Bbq sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, minced garlic, salt and cayenne pepper in a bowl, Mix well, set aside.

Rub pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Arrange chops onto prepared baking sheet.

Take two-thirds of the marinade to slather each chop generously all over. Reserve the rest for basting later.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip pork over and baste each chop with the reserved marinade, brushing all over to evenly coat (or spread using the back of a spoon).

Change oven setting to broil (grill) on medium-high heat setting. Broil until edges are caramelized, about 7-10 minutes (please make sure oven shelf is about 8-inches/20cm from the top heat element).

Remove from oven. Flip once more and baste all over with the pan juices. Return to broiler for a further 1-3 minutes until nice and golden.

To serve, brush all pan juices back onto the pork. Season with a little extra cracked black pepper and garnish with parsley or fresh herbs of choice.
