Ingredients
- 5 cups lemonade (reconstituted, not concentrate) If you make your own fresh lemonade, by all means use it!
- 1 1/2 cups tomato ketchup
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup (1/4 pound) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons each granulated garlic, onion powder, ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons each paprika, chili powder
- 2 tablespoons each fresh finely chopped thyme leaves, oregano leaves, sweet basil leaves, if using dried herbs use 2 teaspoons of each
- Cooking oil, for the skillet
- Eight 6-to-8-ounce center cut pork chops (trimmed somewhat lean to avoid excess grease in baking pan)
- All-purpose flour lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, enough to coat chops
Instructions
- For the sauce: In a large bowl or pitcher, mix all of the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the pork chops: Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom. Dredge the pork chops in the seasoned flour and brown for approximately 2 minutes per side in the skillet. Transfer the chops to a baking pan. Fan the chops so that each chop is exposed as much as possible.
- Pour the sauce over the chops and cover the baking pan with heavy aluminum foil.
- Bake until the chops are tender 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the chops to a serving platter and serve.

I made it exactly as listed came out delicious only disappointment bbq sauce was not as thick as in picture. Will add red pepper flakes next time to make it spicy.
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL FAMILY FAVORITE! Wow…These pork chops rock! My only comment is the sauce doesn’t thicken up into a lacquer sauce once it’s finished cooking. The easy fix is take out some of the liquid into a separate pot, set it to medium high and add in a corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce up and serve over the chops. DELICIOUS!
Very juicy and the sauce is really good, can use on other meats as well.
This is one of our family’s go to favorites. The recipe makes about 8 cups of sauce, which is a little time consuming to make. I’ve found with our family of 6, it only takes 2 cups of sauce for the 9 chops I make, so I freeze the other three servings of sauce to save time later.
Excellent and easy to make. The first time I made these I used turkey burgers too. I made the burgers very juicy. I made them again today and added 1/4 cup of liquid smoke
Really tasty. I used fresh lemonade and omitted the vinegar. Very easy, too. Will fix again!
Absolutely wonderful. My wife and I tore them up the first time I made them. My wife took a couple over to my son at work, and he was in awe. We all loved them, and yes, they were very easy to make. The best part is that we dont have to have dried chops anymore. These babies are tender and juicy.
I really liked the smell and taste, just wished mine would have turned out thicker and more like a glaze. I’ll definetely tweak this, probabbly less water with the lemonade concentrate.
I think this was a wonderful new way to make pork chops. I did halve the sauce and still had extra. So, I simmered it down until it was very thick. Great on a hamburger, hot dog or you name it. As stated in other reviews, this does not taste like lemonade. I also cut the oregano. I eyeballed it. Will def make this again.
Easy to make however there is no flavor to the sauce. There is definitely way to much sauce which as others have suggested could easily be halved. Didn’t make the pork any more tender or flavorful. Very disappointed…
