Air Fryer Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 2 thick cut bone in pork chops
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the pork chops dry on both sides.

  2. 2

    Rub both sides of the pork chops with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Combine all of the seasoning ingredients together and rub the seasoning mix into the pork chops. Coat them well on both sides.

  4. 4

    Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF.

  5. 5

    Cook for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140-145ºF. Thicker pork chops may require a longer cooking time.

  6. 6

    Let the pork chops rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.

Let the sweet and smoky glaze cling to those chops like a warm embrace-when you pull them out, the aroma alone will make you wish you'd made double the batch. Enjoy with a slice of crusty bread, and remember, the best meals are the ones shared with someone who appreciates a perfectly balanced bite.

Kalimera's Famous Greek Chicken Gyros

Recipe video above. This Chicken Gyros recipe was given to me by Thomas Deliopoulos, the owner of Kalimera Souvlaki Art which is a wildly popular gyros bar in Melbourne. It's ridiculously, unbelievably, eye-rollingly good that has top chefs like Australia's Ben Shrewry and New York Times food critic Sam Sifton raving!Thomas’s secret is a touch of curry powder in the marinade. Yes, really!At Kalimera, the chicken is cooked on a vertical spit layered with fat, but even on the BBQ or stove, it’s ridiculously good. I've made it for many people now, and everyone is nuts for it!
