How to cook pork chops in the oven:
If you don’t have a grill or it’s the middle of winter and you don’t feel like firing up the grill, have no fear! You can bake these pork chops in your oven. Here’s how:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spray a 9×13″ baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place pork chops inside pan (after they are finished marinating) and pour marinade on top of chops.
- Cook uncovered for 25-35 minutes (depending on thickness of chops) or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
How long can you keep marinated pork in the fridge?
The key to these juicy pork chops is letting them marinade for 6-8 hours. Sometimes I even let them marinate overnight.
I wouldn’t recommend marinating these pork chops much longer than 12 hours. The main ingredient – soy sauce – is very acidic and will break down the pork chops, making them mushy and not an edible texture.
If you do want to make these pork chops in advance, I would recommend placing the pork chops and marinade in a resealable gallon-sized freezer bag and keeping them in the freezer.
They will keep in your freezer for up to 30 days.
When you are ready to grill them, remove them from the freezer 12-24 hours in advance and place them in the fridge to thaw.

Phyllis Denner says:
The recipe sounds wonderful but I can't cook it because I have a 3qt. MINI instant pot. I don't know how to make adjustments. I have never used an instant pot. I am a senior citizen cooking for one only. If I cut the recipe in half, do I cut the cooking time in half or make other changes? I don't know enough to experiment. Help!!!

Kris says:
Hi Phyllis-First I would suggest cooking these just as they are described. I find cooking my pork chops in the Instant Pot make them dry. But when you do use the 3qt Instant pot, cut the recipe in half and keep the time the same. Hope this helps!
