Yes, bone-in loins work well and add flavor. Increase cooking time by 5-10 minutes depending on thickness.
No cover needed for this recipe. Baking uncovered allows the exterior to brown. If browning too fast, tent loosely with foil.
Let the cooked loin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This keeps juices inside the meat rather than on the plate.
