Can I use bone in pork chops?
Absolutely! Use what you have. Watch your cooking times, and be sure that the pork is cooked fully. Thick bone in chops will take longer than boneless chops.
What temperature to cook pork?
Pork chops should be cooked to 145 degrees F when tested with a digital thermometer in the thickest part.
