7 up Marinated Pork Chop is one of those dishes my siblings and I would always have when we were growing up. My mom would always buy pork chops every time she goes to the market. Her favorite way of cookingit is by frying it. She would marinate it first with 7-up, calamansi (calamondin) and soy sauce overnight. I have tried different pork chop recipes but I still love my mom’s recipe. Sometimes I would substitute the 7-up with ginger ale and I also use lemon instead of calamansi because lemons are more easily accessible. Additionally, I coat the pork chops with tapioca starch or flour before frying it.I like to make mango salsa as well because it goes great with the fried pork chops.The 7-up mixture and the fact that it is marinated overnight makes the pork chops so tender and tasty. Every time I make these there are never any leftovers. It is and will always be our family’s all time favorite dish.

It was delicious! Thank you for sharing this very simple recipe with a very flavorful outcome. I’d like to try baking it instead today. What do you recommend for oven temp? duration? and breading/coating?

  You’re welcome Maria! If you are planning to bake the pork chops, you need to coat the chops with breadcrumbs (instead of flour or tapioca starch). Then place the chops on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Bake in 350 degree F preheated oven for 40 minutes or until cooked through. Hope these help!

  Hi Stephanie,
  I usually fry the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops.
