These air-fryer pork chops are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor! Seasoned to perfection with a homemade spice rub and cooked to perfection.
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 3 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
-
In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili pepper.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
-
Pat dry the pork chops with a paper towel. Brush the pork chops with oil on both sides. Season the pork chops generously on both sides with the spice mixture.
-
Place the pork chops in the air fryer, make sure they don’t overlap. Cook for 5 minutes then flip them over and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
-
Serve with warm barbecue sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Season the pork chops generously on both sides! Especially if using thick cuts.
- Don’t overcook! Pork chops get really tough and dry when overcooked. Use a meat thermometer, the pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. However, the pork chops will continue cooking while they rest. I like to remove them from the air fryer when they’re around 140 degrees.
- Serve with warm barbecue sauce on the side.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 375 degrees and spray the basket with nonstick spray before cooking.
- Let the meat rest! If you slice into the pork chops right away, all of the juices will escape.
