Ingredients

4 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and brush them with olive oil on both sides.

3. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Rub this mixture evenly over each pork chop.

4. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the pork chops and sear on each side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Add the butter to the skillet and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

7. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

8. Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
