Oven Baked Pork Chop Sauce
This is the third time I’ve made this sauce and used it for baking pork! The first time I made it I used center cut pork chops, Paul said they were the best pork chops he’s ever eaten. I used it one more time for chops and once for Bone In Country Style Pork Spare Ribs. The combination of the sauce and the oven baking give you pork that is full of luscious flavor and fork tender. It’s amazing!
This is not a marinade, it’s a sauce. The sauce recipe ingredients as show below in the recipe is enough for 2 nice size pork chops. If your making 4 chops double the recipe, if your making 6 chops triple the recipe. The directions are the same for any amount you choose to make.
When I baked the 2 1/2 pounds of Bone In Country Style Pork Spare Ribs, I doubled the recipe. I baked the spare ribs the same way I made the chops, with 1 batch of sauce over them covered in foil. I baked them until they were tender, a little over an hour. Then I drained the liquid off, poured a second batch of sauce over them and baked uncovered for 30 minutes. DELICIOUS, TENDER spare ribs! I haven’t baked chicken in the sauce yet but believe me I’m trying it! Homemade goodness from our house to yours, Enjoy!
Oven Baked Pork Chop Recipe
Ingredients
- For 2 pork chops make the recipe as is. For 4 chops double the recipe for 6 chops triple the recipe.
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together.
- For Pork Chops – Place your pork chops in a baking dish, pour 1/2 the sauce over the pork chops, cover with foil, bake for 30 minutes at 425 degrees. After 30 minutes, drain the liquid from the pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the pork chops and bake uncovered for 30 more minutes. You can turn the chops once during the last 30 minutes to get both sides evenly browned if you like.
- For Spare Ribs – Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place spare ribs in a baking dish, double the recipe for the sauce, pour half the sauce over the spare ribs, cover with foil, bake for 1 hour covered or until spare ribs are tender, drain the liquid from the pan. Pour the other half of the sauce over the spare ribs, bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Keep your eye on the pork the last 30 minutes, they brown quickly, turn them over to finish the baking time.
- My package of Bone In Country Style Spare Ribs was 2 1/2 pounds, if your making more , adjust the amount of sauce accordingly.

I usually never comment on recipes but this recipe is a AWESOME and a keeper!
I used this now 5 times in the last month and variations included:
– Pork chops and loin ribs, belly ribs, etc
– Adding veggies
– Using cut pork shanks
– Using lamb ribs
– Transferring the ribs to the bbq after the hour in the oven under foil
Thank you!

Thank you Jaco!!! You’re making some delicious food, thank you so much for coming back to tell me, you made my day!

Hi! I want to try this, but an hour at 425 seems long.
bunny
Nancy if you read some of the comments on the post you’ll see that there have been people who have made the recipe as posted and it turned out fantastic. Don’t be afraid of the oven temp sweetie, it works as written. Look in the comments, I love it when people come back to say they made a recipe and loved it. It helps other people to know the recipe works. I hope you enjoy it!

I baked the pork chops as described in your recipe. They came out terribly over cooked. 60 minutes is way too long. I would bake them only 25 minutes next time
Daytona
Really good! Only thing is if you have a thinner cut of meat, an hour is definitely too long. I would say for pork chops 1-2cm thick, definitely only cook for 30 min (or check when they are cooked inside). Otherwise it’s a good sauce recipe!
bunny
Thank you Daytona!! And thank you for taking the time to come back and comment, I appreciate it!
Trudy Lannon
Just loved my pork chops. Tonight I’m going to use this sauce on boneless chicken breast, I’m excited to try it. Gave the recipe to my neighbor who cooks mainly Mexican foods but she flipped for the chicken version. Her husband who doesn’t get American foods very often loved it as well. ( he’s American )
Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻

Wonderful Trudy, thank you for coming back to comment!

Simple
Moist
and
Delicious !
I will make them again.
The only thing I will do different is line the pan with foil to avoid cleanup.
Tina
My husband is a very picky eater, he loved the pork chop sauce recipe. He now uses it on chops, chicken, and even hamburgers. Thank you!

That’s amazing to hear, I’m so glad! I’ve heard a lot of people using the oven baked pork chop sauce on other things, yum!
Donna Root
I cooked these as described, but they came out like shoe leather! So tough, they basically boiled! I did them for 30 minutes, covered. Then poured off all the liquid, which there was a ton of, and did the rest of the time uncovered. They never “caramelized”, they just basically boiled in that dressing, which seemed really good…but these were so tough!
Mary Bostow
I’m so sorry that was your experience Donna. If you look at the other comments below yours, you’ll see that, that wasn’t the opinion of the other people that made the pork chops per the recipe.
Jayne
Great sauce for pork. The meat was fall-off-the -bone, after cooking for an hour.Will definitely make this again.
Mary Bostow
Thank you for the rating and for letting us know how the oven baked pork chop sauce came out!
Kathleen
Thank you!!! I followed your recipe to the “T”, it was DELICIOUS! I made it for dinner tonight and will definitely be making it again! I have a feeling the negative remarks could only have been the result of NOT draining the liquid at the 30min. mark!!!
