   • In a pot, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and dark molasses. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2. Marinate the Chops:

   • Bring the marinade mixture to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
   • Pour the cooled marinade into a zip-top plastic bag, then add the pork chops. Seal the bag and turn it to coat the chops evenly.
   • Refrigerate the bag for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.

3. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a saucepan, combine ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, water, and ground mustard. Stir the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth.
   • Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Bake the Pork Chops:

   • Remove the marinated pork chops from the refrigerator and discard the marinade.
   • Place the chops in a shallow oblong baking pan, ensuring they are in a single layer.
   • Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

6. Glaze the Chops:

   • After 30 minutes, remove the foil cover from the baking pan.
   • Brush the prepared barbecue sauce generously over the pork chops, coating them evenly.

7. Final Bake:

   • Return the uncovered pan to the oven and continue baking the chops for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the glaze is lightly browned.
   • Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the barbecued pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
• Pair this delicious dish with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
• Don’t forget to pour any extra barbecue sauce from the pan over the chops for an extra burst of flavor!
