Oven-Baked Pork Chops in Spiced Batter

Another recipe for pork in batter. This time in the oven. Iʼm specifically hooked on chops. Last time I made it with pork, but with cheese and fried. This time, instead of cheese, I added more spices and chopped herbs to the batter. And for a change I decided to bake it in the oven. True, when you cook dishes in batter, frying is still necessary, otherwise all the batter will drain from the meat during baking and you won’t get a fluffy crust. The frying time is simply reduced to 1-2 minutes on each side. The meat will not have time to fry yet, but the batter will already form a crust around the pork.
