For this garlic butter pork chops recipe, I used bone-in pork chops. Boneless is an option, but it doesn’t have the same depth of taste. Pork chops should be purchased from a reputable source to ensure tender, juicy, moist, and tasty results from this dish.
Pork rib chops with the fat and bone marrow still on are my favorite because they provide more taste and moisture to the dish. It is also less expensive. If you want leaner meat, boneless chops are a good option because the fat has already been removed. Dryer and less juicy will be the result.
