24 min4 servingsEasyAmerican

Ingredients

  • 4 lb bone-in pork chops
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry and rub with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder and dried thyme; press onto both sides.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 380°F for 6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip the chops and cook 6 to 8 more minutes until internal temp hits 145°F.

  5. 5

    Rest tented under foil for 5 minutes so juices redistribute before serving.

Chef's tip

Pull the chops at 145°F and let them rest — carryover heat finishes cooking while keeping them juicy.

Suggested pairing

Great with buttery mashed potatoes and a medium-bodied Pinot Noir.
