Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 thin pork chops, boneless
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dry pork rub recipe below - store leftovers in a jar for future use

Homemade Pork Rub

2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 360℉.
If making the homemade pork rub, combine brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, dry mustard powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Brush the pork chops all over with olive oil.
Season the top, bottom, and sides of the pork chops liberally with dry rub.
Place pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them.
Air fry pork chops for 10 minutes at 360℉, flipping over halfway. The pork chops are fully cooked when they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!

Notes

Try to use pork chops that are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
Don't squish the pork chops together in the air fryer. They need space around them to get crispy.
Thinner pork chops will cook faster than thick ones, so keep an eye on them.
Don't overcook them! That's the fastest way to end up with tough, dry pork chops. Once they hit 145°F, they're done.
