AIR FRYER PORK CHOPS

 It's always fun to turn the kitchen over to Hubby Wayne...well usually it is. No seriously, he's not a bad cook at all. He always cooks fish if we have fish and he likes to grill. He is quickly becoming a fast fan of the Air Fryer. 

He tried this recipe for cooking pork chops in the Air Fryer and thinks it is the only way to pork chops now. They are so juicy cooked in the Air Fryer. The recipe if for two pork chops but because our porkchops are so thick, he cooked one and we halved it. He used half of the rub and we saved the other half in a ziplock bag to use at a later date.

AIR FRYER PORK CHOPS

2       center-cut, bone - in or boneless, 1-1/2 to 2 - inches thick

2       tablespoons brown sugar

1       tablespoon paprika

1-1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1       teaspoon ground mustard

1/2    teaspoon onion powder

1/4    teaspoon garlic powder

1-2    tablespoons olive oil

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile rinse pork chops with cool water and pat dry completely with a paper towel.

In a small bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.

He only used half of the rub and we saved the rest for another time.

Pour the olive oil in a small bowl and

coat both sides of the pork chops with olive oil.

Rub in the mix, rubbing in well and liberally.

Use most of the rub mix for the two pork chops.

Wayne rubbed it even on the sides of the pork chops.

When he was finished, he coated the top and bottom with the rest of the olive oil.

Spray the bottom of the air fryer's basket with non-stick cooking spray. 

Place the chops in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes at 400 degrees F,

flipping the chops at 6 minutes. Temperature should be 160 degrees F.

Serve immediately.
