    Baked bbq pork chops, sitting in cast iron skillet and on a white plate.

    BBQ Pork Chops in the Oven are super simple but full of flavor! It’s an easy dinner idea that goes with so many great side dishes, especially these baked beans with hamburger. The recipe is similar to how to cook pork steaks and the result is a juicy, delicious cut of meat.

    Hello again Fantabulosity readers. It’s Meg from Meg’s Everyday Indulgence again! I’m so pumped to share this recipe with you today. (Photos updated by Fantabulosity in 2024.)

    I have a feeling a lot of you out there are always on the hunt for simple yet delicious dinners that you can get on the table in a flash. You know, the ones that don’t require a mountain of ingredients that you don’t have on hand. (Or at least the recipes that require little prep like this Coca-Cola BBQ Pulled Pork or bbq pork steak recipes.)

    Why You’ll Love These Baked Pork Chops

    If you love easy recipes that use simple ingredients, then you’ll love this one!

    You’ll find that these baked pork chops use staple ingredients, so much like these broiled pork chops and these creamy crock pot pork chops, and I’m betting you already have all or most of these on hand.

    • Pork Chops
    • Onions
    • Barbecue Sauce
    • Basic Spices (to create a delicious, flavorful rub)

    Also, since the pork chops are thinly cut and boneless, they cook very quickly, making them perfect for nights when you don’t have much time to get dinner on the table.

    Baking cuts of meat in the oven can result in a juicy, tender cut of meat, and these pork chops are no different.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for baked bbq pork chops.

    Pork Chop Rub

    Before the boneless pork chops go into the oven to bake, a simple rub is sprinkled all over both sides.

    All the ingredients in the rub are pretty basic pantry staples. This includes salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and paprika.

    Almost all of the spices are used in equal amounts (excluding the salt, and if you’re using table salt, you may want to use ½ teaspoon) so it’s super simple to mix up and makes a big impact on the flavor.

    The Secret to Good Pork Chops

    This boneless pork chop recipe has a little secret that adds so much flavor to this cut of pork. By slicing an onion and and layering it along the bottom of your baking dish, adds a lot of flavor to the pork chops.

    How to Cook Baked Pork Chops

    First, as the chops sit on the onion slices and bake away, the onion flavor is imparted upon them. But no fear, it’s not a crazy oniony taste that will cause your kids to revolt but a nice, subtle flavor boost.

    The second plus is that once the chops are done cooking, the onions have softened and become seasoned with the rub, barbecue sauce, and pork juices, which makes for a great topping to your chops.

    TIP: You could easily double or triple the amounts and keep the extra in an airtight container to have it ready for next time.

    Barbecue Sauce for Pork Chops

    Now the great debate may be on. What kind of barbecue sauce do you like? Hot, sweet, smoky, all of the above?! I’m a sweet, Kansas City style barbecue sauce girl all the way. My husband grew up in KC and I grew up just a few hours away so it’s in our DNA to like the sweet saucy stuff.

    You obviously can use whatever kind of barbecue sauce you like best and they will all pair well with the rub.

    Expert Tip

    I chose to use somewhat thinly cut chops to keep this a quick cooking meal. I’m always on the lookout for quick, healthy and homemade dinner options for nights when we have dance, Cub Scouts or conferences so it’s nice to have another option to add to the arsenal.

    What to Serve with BBQ Pork Chops

    There’s nothing better than the staples when it comes to sides dishes that go with BBQ. This red skin potato salad is one of our favorite savory salad recipes but pasta salad recipes are always a good option too! Or, it’s hard to have pork without this KFC Copycat Coleslaw recipe!

    Ingredients

    • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into ¼-inch rings
    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    • 4 ¼-inch thick boneless pork chops
    • ½ cup barbecue sauce

    For the BBQ Rub:

    • 1 ½ Tablespoon kosher salt If using table salt, you may want to use less.
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon chili powder
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Layer onions in a large cast iron skillet or 9×3 baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
    • In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper. 
    • Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with the bbq rub. Place the seasoned chops on top of the onions. Bake for 15 minutes. 
    • Remove from the oven and brush both sides of the chops generously with barbecue sauce. Bake another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 F. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Top with onions when serving.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to double or triple if you need larger amounts.

      I tried this recipe. I had about 12 chops so I used an aluminum pan. My choos were thicker, so I increased the cook time. The chops were so juicy and tender. My family loved them. Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe.

      I made this for dinner with thin boneless pork loin chops. I preheated my oven to 400. After 15 minutes they were no where done. The onion slices were not even cooked. I had to cook this for 20 minutes longer. I was pretty good though

      Way too much salt, had to add more bbq sauce to help offset it. And I only used 1 Tbsp not 1 1/2 Tbsp. Maybe a typo? Otherwise, super easy and tender. It’s a keeper, will just use 1/2 tsp next time.

        Pork chops were very moist. Agree that there is a typo in the recipe relating to the salt and to use 1/2 to 1 teaspoons instead. Otherwise recipe is a keeper.

        Hi Sharyll. You shouldn’t need to cover them unless they’re sitting really close to the top of the oven or you notice the chops starting to burn.

      Followed the recipe. When it came time to slice, the chops were not cooked all the way through. Had to keep putting it back in the oven five minutes at a time. Decided to slice everything and brown the sliced pork in a skillet til I could see that it was cooked through. Was really disappointed. Other recipes say to brown the chops in a skillet before baking. I should’ve done that here.

        Hi there. Sorry you were disappointed. I wonder if the pork chops could have been thicker than ours. Or perhaps the oven temps were different. There can be some variables here, especially when others have had success. But yes, cooking pork until an internal temperature of 145° is definitely recommended since so many things can factor in.

      Okay, that turned out fantastic. I used my own spice rub mixture and a binder of yellow mustard with Franks Red Hot. I let the pork sit with the dry rub in the fridge for 6 hours. Baking times and temperature were spot on! I added white wine to the skillet to deglaze after removing the chops and onions. Then I reduced and added a bit of heavy cream. Made a nice gravy. The chops were juicy and prefect! Thank you for the recipe!

        Hi Barbara! I’m sure you can, it may just reduce the cook-time a little? So I’d watch it and check the internal temp!

      This was delicious!! I added about a teaspoon of brown sugar and cooked for 20 minutes then basted with bbq sauce for another 10 minutes because frankly undercooked pork makes me nervous. This came out perfect and the hubby said this is really good twice. It’s a keeper.
