I think this recipe has great potential.. While I am not a big fan of "baked" pork chop recipes, I think this one is excellent under the broiler. I just personally think that broiling is more flavorful than baking. The lemon juice accents the barbecue sauce with just enough "zing" and adds great flavor. I highly recommend people to try this, but with broiling 4-5 mins on each side instead of baking it in the sauce.

My fiance really liked these. I was not crazy about them, something about the syrupy stuff that you get when the barbecue sauce is all cooked, blah. If I did it agian, I would probably just marinate the chops in the barbecue and lemon and then cook them without all the sauce in the pan.Heck, maybe i wasnt supposed to put in in there. It doesnt really say.

If you looking for a quick, simple recipe to spice up porkchops, this is it. Utilize the amount lemon juice to suit your palate. If you want a very slight hint of lemon, stick with the recipe.

ADD LEMON ZEST FOR MORE "ZING" Cooked this for kids -- they LOVED it. I cooked in electric skillet, used KC Masterpiece sauce, and sprinkled the zest from two lemons on chops while cooking (in addition to the lemon juice).

Based on the reviews, I was excited for how amazing the pork chops were going to be...unfortunately, they weren't anything special. They just tasted like pork chops with barbecue sauce. I may make this again if I am ever in a pinch, but I won't ever plan ahead to make it.
