Chesapeake Bay Pork Chops

Loved these! But we love Old Bay so of course we loved these. I couldnt grill these so i baked them in the marinade @ 350 for 40 mins. I will be making these again. Thanks!

This recipie was fantastic - the only thing I did different was I used dried basil instead of fresh as I did not have any. I had 6 boneless pork chops left over and needed something to do with them - I did a search and found this recipie. I actually cut my pork into cubes and marinated in a ziplock bag for about 5 hours then sauteed them in a heavy skillet over medium high heat and then used the pork to make pork tacos - my wife and kids loved them - I will definetely do this again!!!

I thought this recipe turned out very tasty! I was a little hesitant b/c I really only use Old Bay for when I cook salmon, but the flavors all blended so well together. I only had dried basil, so I used that instead. Mine marinated for only 3-3.5 hours and it was GREAT!

I didn't like the smell of the marinade. I didn't like the way the pork chops smelled when they emerged from the marinade. And I didn't like how they smelled as they were roasting (Hubs wasn't feeling well so at the last minute I had to throw these in the oven rather than grill them). If all those clues weren't enough, the one taste I had sealed it for me. Somewhere along the line the taste of those beautiful Porterhouse chops got lost in the unpleasant tang of vinegar and lime juice. I can't remember the last time I disliked something so much.

I admit that I was pretty skeptical about this one because of the number of reviewers who thought the vinegar flavor was too strong. Well, let me just say, we REALLY, REALLY liked this. I did proceed cautiously and made 1/2 the recipe using 3 T. of vinegar and a heaping 1/2 T. of Old Bay. I marinated this for 5 hours and then Hubs grilled it to perfection! We'll be doing this one again! Thank you RMT!

I just made this last night and it was delicious!! I left the pork chops marinating in the ziploc bag in the fridge overnight. The only difference from the recipe is that I didn't have fresh basil, so I used ground basil instead. When I got home from work around 6pm, I threw the pork chops in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Served the chops with rice and voila! A truly yummy meal. :)

Wonderful flavor. My family loved this and already asked about the leftovers. I did use 1/2 the amount of vinegar this recipe called for and also used double the Old Bay seasoning. Perfect!

DELICIOUS!!! i subbed lemon because i didn't have any limes on hand and only marinaded for about an hour due to lack of time but they came out wonderful. i will definitely be making these again

Excellent - very tender and perfectly seasoned. I didn't notice this recipe called for a lime until I was putting it together, so I had to use a lemon. I used dry basil in the marinade and topped the chops with fresh basil when they were done. I didn't find this at all "vinegar-y," but I'm a pretty big fan of vinegar so maybe I'm immune to the kill of it. Thanks for the recipe! :)

So I love Old Bay seasoning and thought this would be an interesting marinade the pork chops I had in my fridge. After reading the other posts, I was nervous about the amount of vinegar so I reduced it slightly. Then after smelling the marinade, I decided to add about 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. This may sound a little strange, but it worked! We only marinated the pork for about 1 1/2 hours and then grilled it. Next time I'll try to marinate for longer -- possibly overnight.

Weak on the Old Bay flavor, and very strong on the vinegar. On the plus side, they were tender. Other than that, not much to recommend them, unless you're very fond of vinegar.

These were really tender and delicious pork chops. I just used 1/4 cup oil and !/4 cup vinegar for four boneless pieces. I doubled the Old Bay, strange thing, barely noticable! Love the stuff and the flavor so next time I'll triple AND sprinkle a bit before grilling. Loved trying this, though. Thanks for sharing.

These were just OK in my opinion. A little heavy on the vinegar. I did like the Old Bay, so I may try to make this again with less vinegar and somehow incorporate butter instead!

Marinated chops while we were at work and grilled them when we got home. The chops were very tender. Was a bit concerned about the amount of vinegar called for. Though it tasted ok, will use a little less next time.

I didn't get any Old Bay flavoring in these chops at all. The marinade made a nice tasting moist pork chop but definitely not worthy of the name Chesapeake Bay in my opinion. I was actually worried about them tasting too much like a crab or something but they literally had no old bay flavor.

Maybe it's because I'm not from the east coast, but I can think of a hundred other marinades and rubs that I would rather use on my pork chops. This marinade seems to conflict with the flavour of the pork instead of enhancing it.

Great marinade! Def. a keeper!!!!!!!!!! :)

This was a very tasty recipe. We really enjoyed it. The flavours were amazing. I've never used Old Bay before. Very good recipe, I'll definitely be making this again!

I think these were the best pork chops I've ever had! My husband made them, and he followed the recipe to the letter. The whole family loved them!!!

We LOVED this marinade recipe. I was a little nervous because one person rated this very bad but I figured since the majority of people liked it I would still try it and honestly I think the person who disliked this recipe messed it up because it was awesome. We will definitely be making this again.

Delicious! Used olive oil and red wine vinegar and prob twice the fresh basil- other than that everything else was the same! Put chops in the marinade that morning before work - grilled them over charcoal fire that evening!

Amazing flavor! It was a huge hit! I paired the pork chops with cilantro lime rice.

Fantastic! Husband loved it! Very fragrant. Had it with a side of asparagus and baked beans... so yummy! Thanks!

We love old bay, so this recipe caught my eye. I made it following the recipe and it was a big hit! We loved it! However, I have a habit of taking a recipe and putting my own twist on it. I used balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a nice size squirt of key lime honey. Thank you! It was awesome!

These were excellent. Simple to prepare, and they made the pork chops taste like steak!

Easy and very tasty! Marinated the chops in ziploc bag Sunday afternnon. I used thick bone in chops and broiled them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes each side. If you spinkle just a little paprika on the top of the chops they will blacken like they were grilled and taste a bit grilled. I normally always use a bit of paprika when I broil - especially on chicken. Makes it look so good! Don't overdo the paprika because the food will come out charred. Thanks submitter.

The marinade is excellent! The basil is perfect on these chops. I was only able to marinade for 4 hours, but the flavor was amazing.

This recipe was not good! I followed the recipe, scaled down for 2 servings, but marinated only for 3 hours. Thank goodness because even without the full recommended marinade time all I could taste in the meat was apple cider vinegar! If I had marinated the full time I'm sure my husband and I wouldn't have been able to eat it.

I was only able to marinate these for about 2 hours. I cooked them on my George Foreman grill and they were wonderful. They had lots of flavor and still very tender and juicy. Thank you for another pork recipe to put into rotation!!

I used fresh basil and garlic and added alittle more Old Bay. I have made this with pork chops and chicken. My family loves this recipe!

Very good! I marinated the chops for almost 4 hrs. added some extra Old Bay, salt, pepper, and a touch of paprika prior to baking at 350* for about 30 min. Served with smaashed cauliflower and steamed broccoli.

VERY MOIST AND FLAVORFUL! This was a nice change from barbeque sauce. The cooking time was perfect. I followed the recipe exactly as written. Hubby and I both really enjoyed them. Thank you RMT for sharing this very moist and flavorful recipe!

Should have read that this is a grilling marinade. Doi. I missed that this morning, when I made this while I was drinking my first cup of coffee. I marinaded these all day and broiled them. My husband and I will try this again when we're ready to grill again. As it sits, it was an okay marinade. Let this be a lesson to you.....read through all the directions!

A hit with my family. We all really enjoyed them and will make them again. Per other reviews, I cut the vinegar in half and that was perfect for us. I will either add a little more Old Bay to the marinade next time or take the author's advice and sprinkle it on during grilling. Chops were juicy and flavorful. Thanks for sharing!

Just made this and the whole family, even the two year old ate it and L O V E D it!!!!!! No one seemed to think the vinegar was too strong. Only thing I did different was used dry basil because I didn't have any fresh. I also 1/2 it for 4 chops. I can't say enough good things about this.

The only flavors I really tasted were lime juice and basil. Couldn't taste the Old Bay at all. Don't think I'll make again.

I had 4 sirloin bone-in pork chops and I fixed the marinade except I used juice on one lemon instead of the lime. Marinated for 4 hours. Grilled them on low/med heat till the temperature read 160, about 7 to 9 mins. per side. They turned out great! I will use the recipe for other things like chicken, steak and salmon. The flavors went all through the meat. This is the best marinate I have found. Thanks for sharing! Cookin In WV

This was not bad, but I did not think that the flavor was anything special.

Very good. Although I love vinegar and don't have a problem with it as a marinade, bf can take a dim view of it, so I halved the vinegar part and replaced it with some more of the oil. I marinated this for 2 days because I ended up not being able to make it as planned. It still turned out wonderfully, especially with fresh basil on top. Thanks for the recipe!

Thought this was great! I also had my doubts, the ingredients seened to be an odd mix, but it was very tasty. My family loved it.

I thought this was awful. The vinegar taste was overpowering, nowhere near enough Bay seasoning to make it really taste New England-y. Didn't like it at all.

Unique taste for pork chops. I personally felt there was too much vinegar, and with the lime, it had a definite tart flavor. If I make these again, I'll half the vinegar and omit the lime.

Way too salty.

This is SOOOO good! We love it! I add a little extra Old Bay because I love the flavor of it

These are our go to chops! Very tasty, especially on the grill.

When you cook for 8 people and 5 of them are kids, it's a win when everyone eats. This was a win. No whining. No left overs.

Man, this was some good stuff! I did not have cider vinegar on hand, so I used balsamic vinegar instead, and used dried basil instead of fresh. It was absolutely delicious and hubby said the same after just one bite!

Excellent. I was out of gas for the grill so I just baked in the oven. They still turned out fantastic.

We absolutely loved this recipe! We had never used Old Bay for anything other than seafood. My boyfriend loved it. We also added a little bit more Old Bay than the recipe called for. Definately a keeper!

I made this just last night for my family, and oh my god they were great. We had some pork chops that needed to be used, and my mom wasn't in the mood to cook, so when in doubt I hit up Allrecipies in hope for something tasty, and boy did I find it. I used a splash of orange juice and a touch of lime zest. Also I kept the marinade and heated it up in a pan to go over the meat when it was done grilling. Delicous, moist, and easy. I will be sure to make this again!

These were fantastic!!! I don't like vinegar, so I thought for sure I would hate these, but made them for my family. I had one or two bites where I picked up on the vinegar, but not too strong. Even my 2yr old grandson gobbled these down. Really moistened up the meat. Definetly will make again.

I really enjoyed this. It was so simple! The lime and cider gave a certain tang. Since it's winter I did bake mine in the marinade and it was still good!

Excellent. I was out of gas for the grill so I just baked in the oven. They still turned out fantastic.

I made these for my husband and we couldn't believe how tender and moist these were! In addition, even though we like pork, they tasted much like steak! Only complaint is that I thought they would be more "Old Bay" tasting...I even added a bit more than recipe. If you aren't really expecting a strong taste of O.B., you'll love this recipe! OR...sprinkle it on after cooking!

Did not like this at all. I thought it was way to sour. Yuck. Wouldn't reccommend at all.

These were really moist and delicious! My old bay seemed to have dissappeared on me so last minute I added cajun seasoning. They turned out great but next time I will try with the old bay. Very juicy!

Made these for a group of friends and they said it was the best pork chop they had ever had. Very delicious and flavorful, the marinating left them very juicy and tender. I did use balsalmic vinegar rather than apple cider, though I think either choice is equally good.

they were pretty good...i think they would have have been a llot better if i hadent over cooked them. will prob make again

I always love finding new ways to make pork chops. I followed this recipe to the T except that I only used 4 pork chops. So many times it seems that the chops never quite absorb the flavor of the marinade, but this was perfect! I'm a big fan of Old Bay, and this was spot on.

Very good recipe. I Double the old bay (I Love old bay anyway) and it turned out Great

I liked it. Wouldn't rave about it, but it was nice for a change. I didn't have fresh basil and I never have limes.

Juicy, but dull. No flavor. Made the recipe exactly as written. Recommend adding more spices to chops as you're grilling them.

Just a tad strong on the vinegar. The garlic and Old Bay were great. I did marinate over 24 hours so this may have been my fault. I will make these again with less marinating time or less vinegar.

I was looking for a recipe for pork chops and made these because the wife really likes seafood seasoned with Old Bay. We both really liked these. She said it had that really great grilled flavor that you get when you order a grilled meat entree at a restaurant. I don't think the vinegar or the Old Bay Flavors were too pronounced. I thought it was a nice, flavorful, "goes with anything marinade". I am sure I will make this again.

I really don't like pork chops so I am writing this review on what my husband thought of it and he really liked it. The lime juice added a lot to the mix. I added some extra Old Bay and garlic to the mix just to jazz it up. I'm thinking that this maybe a good recipe to use for chicken as well.

Fabulous! Really enjoyed this. Simple and very tasty

Tasted great! Didn't get the overpowering vinegar flavor others have mentioned. Very tender.

Easy and delicious!

Not our fav!

These were really juicy and tasty. I didn't feel that they were too vinegary like others said. I did add two tablespoons of brown sugar like another reviewer had done. This was a good move because it balances the marinade into a proper brine. Make sure you don't overcook the chops! If you let them rest you will get some nice juices to add on top of the pork as you eat.

This was excellent. I had to make my own seafood seasoning using another recipe, but the vinegar was the perfect amount for me (for what it's worth, I LOVE salt & vinegar potato chips, so I'm a fan of that taste!). I marinated the pork chops about 4.5 hours, and the acid actually cooked them a tiny bit. I grilled them on the George Foreman, and while they didn't get the nice char marks from an outdoor grill, they came out perfectly anyway. Juicy, and very flavorful. Easy to make. I will again. I served them with mashed potatoes.

Wow incredible flavor and aroma . This will be make again and again and again. Separately I'd love to make the marinade alone as a light salad dressing after filtering out the garlic slices. Just don't forget to throw a pinch of sea salt onto each pork chop before cooking. It really brings out the marinade flavors.

we enjoyed this pan fried.. i wish we would have followed most suggestions about adding more old bay.. but it was still good.. we love vinegar so it was perfect for us.. we made 4 thin bone in pork chops and there were no leftovers btwn the two of us.. ty for the recipe

really good i added some garlic sald and i use the juices as a sauce

I thought these were delicious. I could taste the vinegar but thought it added a nice tang to the pork. I will try this again and add a little more old bay for a little added kick.

I'm not usually a huge fan of vinegar, but these were very tasty. Due to a snow storm, i followed another reviewer's advice and baked in a casserole dish in the marinade, and they turned out fantastic. Perfect amount of tart and seasoning

Simple, easy and DELICIOUS. Used dried basil instead of fresh leaves.

not enough flavor, needed salt and more old bay than recipe called for

Have made this twice now and we love it. Easy and excellent. The spicing somehow is great. Best with thick, high quality pork chops and not overcooked. Will definitely make this again, probably several times.

I didn't necessarily dislike these, but I was completely underwhelmed. If I'm going to marinate for an afternoon, I expect better. Frankly, these probably would've been better if I'd just sprinkled them with Old Bay prior to cooking. Will not make again.

Wonderful twist to pork chops. Not an Old Bay person but I am with this!. I can see this with chicken too.

Good recipe! I love Old Bay seasoning so I think I might add to the amount next time.

I followed the directions and I marinated the porkchops for 24 hours. Then I slice d them up and marinated them for several more hours. there was very little difference in taste. Certainly not enough to warrant the amount the time I put into the meal. I won't be making this again.

These chops are Awesome! Juicy and full of flavor!

A big hit at my house

my family loved it yes i would make it again

I like pretty much anything , its my husband I have to please. He was very pleased. We both agree it was great I will make it again.

I only got to marinate it for 2 hours instead of 4 and it was okay would probably make it again but it's not a love thing but good had it with roasted asparagus baked sweet potato and baked potato

I liked this recipe. I thought it was just a bit too much with the vinegar. But the vinegar flavor wasn't so strong as to detract from the dish. I would probably just cut down on the vinegar a bit if I make this again.

Disappointed that the chops weren't that flavorful, I marinated them overnight too.

Terrific marinade! After reading reviews I made the following changes to suit our tastes... Cut the apple cider vinegar in half, add 1/4 cup of water and double the Old Bay Seasoning. Sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning before broiling on my George Foreman! The chops were tender and delicious. I will try this on chicken very soon, adding a tbsp of Soy Sauce!

I used 1” center pork chops. Made exactly as noted, marinated 6 hours then grilled to perfection. These were one of the best grilled chop recipes I have ever made. Super juicy and perfectly seasoned.

Excellent. I substituted lemon juice for the lime and a spicy mix for the Old Bay, as I did not have those two ingredients and it was still excellent. Next time I will follow the recipe exactly. I am sure it will still be even better.

Meh. Average.

We really enjoyed these! I may add a bit more old bay next time, but will definitely be making again.

We made these for dinner last night, following the recipe exactly. They were very tender and juicy, but basically tasted like pork. Neither the lime or Old Bay seasoning stood out. If we make them again, I will double the lime and Old Bay to see if that helps, or maybe sprinkle additional Old Bay on just before grilling. Thanks for the recipe - I love trying new recipes!

Very tasty. Cooked it over charcoal on my hibachi grill and the whole family enjoyed it thoroughly!

Fantastic, I was a little skeptical due to the smell before cooking due to the vinegar, but it came out top notch!

No changes and it was absolutely delicious.
