Tips

  • You can use any kind of pretzels, but Dot's Honey Mustard pretzels have so much flavor you don't have to add anything else.
  • Pan-fry the pork chops until golden and crisp, then bake them in the oven to finish, to prevent them from drying out.
  • The honey mustard sauce is designed to reiterate the honey mustard flavor of the pretzels, adding a delicious finish to the dish.
  • An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
