Ingredients for Baked Coca Cola Pork Chops

  • 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • Coca Cola
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Baked Coca Cola Pork Chops

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup Coca-Cola, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the Coca-Cola mixture over the pork chops, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. Arrange pork chops in a single layer in a baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining marinade over the chops.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
