To cook bone-in pork chops perfectly, follow these general steps:

1. Preheat the oven to around 375-400°F (190-204°C).
2. Pat the pork chops dry and season them well with a seasoning mix or rub of your choice.
3. Heat an oven-safe skillet with a bit of oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
4. Add butter and herbs (like rosemary) if desired, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
5. Bake the pork chops for about 12-22 minutes depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.

These steps produce juicy, flavorful bone-in pork chops whether baked at 375°F for about 15 minutes after searing or at 400°F for 15-20 minutes with butter basting. Using a meat thermometer to reach 145°F ensures the pork is cooked safely yet remains tender and juicy.

Here is a summarized example method:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Season chops and sear 2-3 minutes per side in a hot pan with olive oil.
• Add butter and herbs, bake in oven for 12-15 minutes.
• Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
