Pork chops are good for baking, roasting, braising and grilling.
Traditional barbecue is often slow-roasted on the grill or over an open fire pit. If you're pressed for time or equipment, you can make a tasty barbecue meal in the oven. Pork is an ideal meat for barbecue as it becomes tender when basted in a tangy marinade and roasted or baked. Juicy oven-barbecued pork chops turn a weekend feast into a weeknight treat.
Instructions
