Ingredients

  • 4 bone in pork chops
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon adobo
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sazon
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 twigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with foil.
  • Mix the oil and the seasonings to make a paste. Rub this mixture onto all the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the tray and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Flip the pork chops and place 2 thyme twigs on each piece. Finish cooking for 30 minutes. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes nd enjoy!

Notes

  • Pork chops- It is important that you use bone-in pork chops; if you use boneless, they'll be super dry and hard. The pork chops you want to get are the ones with the bone and a layer of fat around the bone. They're called rib-eye pork chops. The more fat it has, the better.
  • Herbs- I always use thyme, but sage can also be used.
