Notes
NOTE #1 - If you're not serving the baked pork chops right away, cover them with clean foil to keep them warm. The moisture will also keep the meat juicy.
NOTE #2 - If you're serving the baked chops right away, let them rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting them for the meat to absorb the juices. The flavor will be infused and you'll have an enjoyable dinner.
