Ingredients

  • 4 1- inch thick boneless pork chops frozen
  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F. 
  • Place the frozen chops in the air fryer in a single layer. Defrost the chops in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
  • While the chops defrost, mix together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
  • When the timer is done, open the basket and remove the chops to a cutting board. Spray them with cooking spray, then sprinkle the dry rub on all over the chops.
  • Return the chops to the fryer basket and continue cooking for 12-18 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chops), or until the middle is no longer pink, and reads 145 degrees F when probed with a meat thermometer. 
  • Allow the chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
