    Redcoated Pork Chops

    Like our Easy Red Chicken recipe, also named by Patrick, our son, this recipe for Sweet Red Pork Chops is an oldie but a goodie! The marinade is awesome and the red coating is the perfect way to finish off these pork chops. This recipe is a definite keeper.

    We eat a lot of pork and chiicken around here.  But there are times even we want something different.  My go to is always pork chops!

    One of my sons favorite meals is our Easy Red Chicken. I decided I would try to recreate those flavors using pork instead of chicken.  To be honest I think he likes this version better!

    There is SOOOO much flavor in this recipe.  The first layer of flavor comes from the marinade.  It is filled with some really great flavors!

    After refrigerating the chops over night in the marinade they are ready to be baked. After they reach an internal temperature of about 140 degrees you are ready to add that second layer of flavor.

    We call is redcoat.  It is a delicious sauce that literally coats every part of the pork chop!  You dip the chops in the redcoat to thoroughly cover them in the sauce. You then pop them back in the oven for about twenty minutes.  It gives the redcoat time to harden, darken, and deepen the flavor!

    You will have to let me know if you like the redcoat chicken or pork chops!

    Ingredients in Sweet Red Pork Chops

    • pork chops

    Marinade

    • soy sauce
    • apple juice
    • water
    • brown sugar
    • molasses
    • salt

    Red Coating

    • ketchup
    • chili sauce
    • apple juice
    • brown sugar
    • salt
    • cooking spray

    How to make Sweet Red Pork Chops

    In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, apple juice, water, brown sugar, molasses and salt.

    Bring to a boil and remove from heat and allow to cool.

    Rinse and pat dry your pork chops with paper towel.

    Place pork chops inside a resealable bag and pour marinade in. Place bag inside your fridge overnight. Adjust pork chops inside the bag periodically. 

    When ready to bake turn your oven on to 350 degrees.

    Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and a rack coated in cooking spray. 

    Remove pork chops from marinade and bake, on the rack until done or 140 degrees. Timing will depend on the size of the pork chops. Usually around an hour.

    While your pork chops are baking, combine all of the red sauce ingredients into a medium sized saucepan. 

    Bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes.

    Dip your cooked pork chops into the sauce and return them to your baking sheet. 

    Bake for about another 20-30 minutes, or until the red coating hardens and darkens a little.

    We have even just broiled the pork chops to quickly caramelize and harden the red coating on the outside. Yummy! Serve and enjoy!
