Turn the heat down and pour on the sauce.
They brown for a couple of minutes on each side – something about the flatness of pork chops helps them get a really nice crust, and that crust = great flavor. I like to turn my pan on low so it starts heating up while I mix up the sauce, and then crank it up to medium-high and add the oil for a minute or two before adding the pork chops. The pork chops cook pretty quickly in a hot skillet on the stove. If you don’t have molasses, you can sub in brown sugar or more honey (but you’re missing out on my fave Christmas cookie and this amazing gingerbread cake that I kinda want to make rightthissecond, so I recommend that you make it a pantry staple.) You could also add some hot sauce or cayenne for heat if you like it like dat (my kids Don’t).
You want equal parts ketchup and apple cider vinegar, a couple big squeezes of honey, a dollop of molasses for some smoky depth, and a little Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (this is the secret ingredient that makes it taste like bbq). I love a crockpot meal now and then, but for speed and flavor, a hot skillet is your friend! They have a ton of flavor and stay super juicy inside, and look how shiny and glossy they are! 😍 Don’t be intimidated by pan-searing – resign yourself to wiping off the stove afterwards (or, you know, noticing 2 days later that the cleaning fairies have been neglecting their duties, darn them) and try it. Quick weeknight dinner, anyone? I got yer honey bbq pork chops right here! These guys cook up lovely and brown in the pan and then get smothered in a super-quick, sweet and tangy bbq sauce.
