Heat oven to 400°F; lightly oil a shallow baking dish. Pat chops dry; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in one layer.
Bake 12 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, water, and cornstarch in a small saucepan; simmer 1 to 2 minutes until lightly thickened.
Brush half the glaze over chops; bake 5 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze; return to oven.
Bake 3 to 8 minutes more until each chop reaches at least 145°F in its thickest part. Remove ready chops individually to avoid overcooking.
Rest at least 3 minutes; spoon a little hot baking-dish sauce over pork to serve.
