Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 | Pork chops |
| 3/4 | Cup chili sauce |
| 8-10 | Shallots |
| 3-4 | Garlic cloves |
| 1/4 | Cup apple cider vinegar |
| 2 | Brown sugar |
| 1 | Worcestershire sauce |
| 2 | Chili powder |
| 1 | Dry mustard |
| 1 | Dried oregano |
Instructions:
- Trim the excess fat from the pork chops to your desired preference.
- Place the trimmed pork chops in a single layer in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly without overlapping.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chili sauce, finely chopped shallots, minced garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, dry mustard, and dried oregano. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the marinade evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are generously coated on both sides. Use a spoon to spread the marinade and massage it into the meat.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together. For enhanced taste, you can marinate the pork chops for up to 8 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the pork chops are marinating.
- Once adequately marinated, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and uncover it.
- Place the uncovered baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 30 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and tender.
- After 30 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully spoon the sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Return the uncovered baking dish to the oven and continue baking the pork chops for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of tenderness, spooning the sauce over them occasionally to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Once cooked to perfection, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the chili-garlic marinated pork chops hot alongside baked potatoes and steamed broccoli for a complete and satisfying meal.
Enjoy the delightful tanginess and succulent flavors of these chili-garlic marinated pork chops with your loved ones for a memorable dining experience! 🍽️🌶️
