These were delicious! Made recipe exactly as written except used brown sugar substitute. Perfect!

These turned out so well. Now will make them this way all the time. Juicy. I did add a couple of minutes to the time.

Awesome recipe!  The chops were juicy and had such awesome flavor!  I will use this recipe over and over.

Your right. Best damn pork chops I ever ate. I make peach and mango salsa. Put that on top of the pork chop. OMG!!!!!!

This recipe was delicious! Easy to prepare.  I would rate this recipe 5 stars all the way! Thanks so much for sharing.

Made this recipe tonight with boneless chops. I didn't have the MMS so I used Steak &amp; Chop seasoning. It was delicious!!! So moist and the caramelization was like candy on the outside.

These are the best damn air fryer pork chops ever, they’re moist &amp; juicy and the rub is great!!
Wish I could post a pic, looks just like your pic!! Thanks for the recipe

The name for this recipe fits perfect!!!! My Adult Son loves the pork chop and he's not a huge meat lovers...except for these. I even over cooked them last time (bad time management on my part) and they were still juicy.  Thank You so much for sharing this recipe♥️

Dinner in less than 15 minutes!  Absolutely delicious, not dry, and great for my low carb diet with just that tiny bit of brown sugar!  Loved them!

mmmmmm...sitting here eating them right now. Delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing

This recipe is the "bomb".  My pork chops were not as thick so I cooked on 380 for 12 minutes using your recipe.  They came out perfect!!  Thanks for sharing.

These are just delicious!  I can’t wait to look around at some of your other recipes for the air fryer.  I have the Corsori air fryer as well as love it. These pork chops were great with the rub. The cooking time was perfect with my super thick chops. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I signed up for your newsletter as well.

I used thick boneless center cut chops and it took twice the time.  They were however delicious1

WOW!!! These are amazing. I would pay for these at a restaurant. New favorite recipe! Thank you so much.

This was the first thing I tried in my new air fryer. It was delicious and moist.

These were lovely! Even the non meat eaters of the family said they were good. I actually have a new air fryer stove. This was the first thing I made with it. Thanks for the amazing recipe.

These were the best chops i have ever made i usually make thin chops because i like crispy but these were truly unbelievable the rub was perfect they were very juicy but cooked through what more could you ask for thanks again for the recipe.--Steve

My family devoured this meal!  Thank you so much!  I just got an air fryer for Christmas and this email will definitely be made again!

Had this for dinner. Have to say it turned out great. In the future I may use 1/2 the dry rub as a lot of it came off in the air fryer. The taste is really good though, paired it with green beans and long grain rice...yummy!!

I’m new at Air Fry cooking. Tried the Best Damn pork chops tonight. They were absolutely delicious, moist and juicy. Will be making this again.

New to air frying and wanted to try pork chops. I made these last night, only I left out the brown sugar as we are trying to stay away from as much sugar as we can. In my opinion it did not hurt the taste. They were probably the best damn pork chops I've had.
One thing, I did have to cook two extra thick chops at least 20 minutes, not sure how long as I was going by increments of 2-4 minutes. This could have been do to my fryer though.

I am not a good cook and I have never been able to make tasty pork chops but we decided to try again ( so tired of chicken and beef). These were easy and delicious. Absolutely the best pork chops we've ever had. Thanks so much for the recipe, I'll definitely be trying more of your air fryer recipes.

Thank you for posting this absolutely incredible recipe!  I followed the receipe exactly as stated and there's  no doubt these were the "best damn pork chops" we've ever had!

Made these tonight. My son 39 year old son they were the best pork chops he has ever had. 
They were pretty damn good. Will be using this recipe again. Thank you.

Absolutely loved these!  Thank you for posting. 
I would like to share this recipe with someone who struggles with dry pork chops but she only has an oven, no air fryer. Do you know what I could have her do to imitate this recipe in a regular oven?
Thank you,
Lisa

Delicious, these pork chops were total awesomeness😍Thank you!

We used the Ninja Foodi and I wasn’t sure whether I was supposed to use the air crisp or grill function — we grilled for 12 mins at 400 degrees on grill insert and they came out perfectly cooked and juicy. The seasoning was absolutely incredible — these truly were the best damn pork chops I’ve ever tried!

These were delicious and moist!  Although I often use boneless pork chops, I used bone in chops!  We will have these again soon.

I made these with a 2in thick chop wrapped in bacon. I have a power air fryer pro plus and I cooked it on the meat setting (400°) for 12 mins, flipped it at the 6 min mark and used a meat thermometer and it wasn't cooked all the way. I put them back in for another 12 mins flipping them at the 6 min mark and rechecked the chop temp it was perfect at 165° done! Best pork chops in awhile! Love the rub!

I made this recipe last night. My husband and I couldn't believe how perfect the pork chops turned out--more flavorful and juicy than any pork chops we've ever had--and we've been around a long time:). I was a bit hesitant to use so much paprika in the rub...but I'm so happy that I followed the recipe exactly. All I can say is this: There is no reason for me to ever use any other pork chop recipe.

This was the juiciest and most flavorful pork chop I've ever made. I added more garlic powder because I like garlic. I'll definitely be making these again.

Haven’t had a pork chop in probably 15 years. These were amazing! Had to share with all of my friends. Definitely need to make with thick cuts. Absolutely picture worthy!

Great recipe! Very seldom do I follow a recipe without tweaking. This recipe didn't need tweaking although I did add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes because we like heat. The dry rub was so tasty I made a batch x5 and put in a jar to use later. The rub is also fantastic on chicken wings!!

Exactly as the recipe said! Amazing! Had me saying cuss words they were so good!

OMGosh! These ARE the Best Damn Air Fryer Pork Chops!  They were juicy and had a wonderful flavor.  Could very easily be pork chop crack! 😊 My Air Fryer has 3 shelves.  I cooked 7 chops together and it took about 17 minutes for those on the top shelf and 22 for those on the other two shelves. They were thinner than 1". This recipe is getting added to the rotation. Everyone loved them.  I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow!!!! Can't say enough about these.  Everyone loved them.   My husband (who is the main chef in our family and very picky) couldn't say anything but, "These chops awesomely ROCK!!".   The brown sugar I used was regular sugar mixed with molasses. The rub is certainly a keeper.   The char is fantastic, moist, tender.  I used 1.5 inch center cut, bone in chops.  Thank you so much for this recipe.

Over the top fablous!! Never have I ever had a better tasting pork chop. Steakhouse high dollar chops have NOTHING on these. I fixed this today for my Daddy for Father's Day and he loved them so much he asked for the recipe for the rub. Thank you for sharing! P.S. I should've taken a picture, because they were beautiful, but we gobbled them up before I though of it. :-)

Wow! Apt title. Hubby loved it tasted the sweet and spicy. Only had 4 thin chops and air fryer doesn’t have preheat or timer so had to wing it. Probably 5 minutes for the thin but think I’ll make rub and keep in jar. Keeper recipe thanks!!

Wow! Best ever pork chop. I am fairly new at air frying and decided to try this recipe because I have never been good at frying a pork chop in a pan. This came out juicy and tender. The rub is what made it. I will never cook a pork chop any other way!

Everyone loved them! Im not a pork chop fan, I was tired of the mundane cooking and decided to make these.  Wonderful flavor, Added more smiles at our family meal.

I altered this recipe due to taste and what I had on hand- it was great!  First, I cut the sugar in half.  Next, I didn’t have mustard seed so I rubbed some mustard in with the olive oil.  Lastly, I use bone in fattier type of pork chops.  My husband and I loved them!  This is a keeper recipe.  Thank you!

cooked these in our air fryer yesterday for the first time and I agree that they are the best damn pork chops we've ever had.

These pork chops were the absolute best!  I have never made a decent chop - ever - until today!  Just delicious!  I think I will make them again tomorrow!  And then I am going to make the air fryer fajitas!  Keep those airfryer recipes coming!!!

You’ve set a new standard for delicious pork chops. And so quick and easy.  Thank you!

One of the best pork chops I’ve ever had! It was so juicy and the flavor was Just phenomenal! This will definitely be a regular in my menu planning from now on. I’m new to airfrying, so I’m looking forward to trying some of your other recipes. This one will be hard to beat, though. New favorite! Thank you for sharing!

These came out really great! The only downside is my air fryer did get a little messy front when flipping the pork chops. It was a hit with the family and I would definitely make them again.

These were a big hit in my house. I did have to cook them a little longer than the recipe called for. But regardless they were absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

What a recipe! We had all the spices in our cabinet. We had four large pork chops so we doubled the amount of spices. We ended up putting about 2tsp of seasoning on each side of the chops (so 4tsp seasoning per chop). We decided to just cook one pork chop at a time so that the air fryer wouldn't be crowded.

Let's talk about the flavor -- my, my, my! We usually eat our chops with some 57 sauce or A1 on the side. These damn chops didn't need anything extra. My husband cleaned all the meat off the bones (and almost ate the bone too. Haha!!) Our 2 year old daughter and 9 year old son ate their full servings of the pork chops.

We served our pork chops with smashed potatoes and broccoli. This recipe is a keeper! I'm going to share it with all my friends.

Awesome! I had to add time as well, but inky 4 minutes. Still nice and juicy.

This was a decent recipe, I liked the combination of spices but it felt like too much for 2 pork chops. I may enjoy it better if I cut the recipe in half. Otherwise they were really good

I have followed this recipe many times since I got my air fryer 8 months ago. I love it and I'm not even a big pork chop fan!

Chops were tasty. However, I will not make recipe in the future because of the mess it made In fryer basket as well as on floor of fryer itself.

Juiciest, tastiest pork chops I've ever made. By far! Great rub as well. Easy cleanup with use of some nonstick spray. I'll definitely be making this again! Kudos!

I made these - the dry mustard ( cause for some reason I did not have any in my gazillion spices) ! I cooked them on the pan in the Ninja Air Fry Oven( not basket ) prefect chops in 12 minutes . Family said they were good &amp; juicy

Damn Air Fryer Pork Chops is so juicy, tender and delicious

That's what I'm making for dinner. I Love My Air  Fryer. Thank you for sharing!

I have recently purchased an air fryer and am looking for simple foods to try.  This pork chop recipe is not only easy, but so very good and tasty!  I had all the ingredients for the rub which is so flavorful, but went out and bought 1 1/2 - 2" chops from our local butcher.  The only change I will make is that I needed to air fry the chops longer than 12 minutes to get them to reach the desired 145 degrees (took about 20 minutes total).  This is such a simple, yet tasty recipe that I intend to make it often! They are  the best damn pork chops we have ever had!

These were the best I have ever eaten. Thank you!

OMG!!  This recipe is the TRUTH!!  Just made some, and each and everyone of 'em is gone as they were so delicious and tender!!!  I will also use this for a rub for a pork tenderloin and ribs...  The only thing I will add next time is a bit of cayenne pepper 'cause I like spicy!

I’m late to the “airfryer party”, but I’m catching up quickly!!!  And this recipe is awesome!!!!  My husband loves it.  I can’t wait to try your other recipes!

first ever thing cooked with an instanton pot/air fryer...phenomenal

Thank you!  I love pork chops but they always come out dry, this recipe was easy but all so tasty.

Did not care for the spices, the chops were moist and juicy after a 10 minute rest. We do love the chicken recipe though.

OMG this is the best recipe for pork chops!!! Do you have other recipes on this site? You are the BOMB!!

I was hesitant with all those spices... but WOW that is absolutely incredible.

Tender. Juicy.  Full of flavor.  This is my new go-to pork chop recipe!

Five Stars buddy. Hey, if there were 10 stars I'd mark em all. I like pork but sometimes it just needs something to make it extraordinary. This recipe does that. You've got your touch of sweet along with all the other spices... I took the liberty to add a teaspoon of smoked bbq rub in along with the other spices. Outstanding . My wife says I can do all the meat from here on out. 
Thanks my friend for the recipe.

Made it sans the brown sugar. Fantastic! Little too peppery for my grandkids (my meal anyway), but I loved it and will definitely make it again.

Looked interesting, so I tried it &amp; oh! So happy I did!  Great flavor and pork chops came out tender and very juicy.  Had to modify the recipe a little: used bone-in 1 inch pork chops, used French's mustard (no dry mustard), and increased garlic.  Will definitely use this recipe again and wish my chops looked as good as some of the pictures -- but I will settle for the great taste!

HOLY CRAP!

This is fantastic. I usually sous-vide my pork chops but came across this and all I can say is WOW. I was suspicious that it would come out on either side of perfect but I have to say, nope, Perfect.

I substituted the paprika for half smoked paprika and it gave it a nice smoky hint.  This one goes into the bookmarks forever

I also used half smoked paprika, but wasn't nuts about the smokiness, which I usually enjoy. Other than that the cops were very tender and juicy, but I had one 1 inch chop and one 1.75 in and the thicker one was raw in the middle. I had to throw it in the frying pan for another 6 or 7 minutes. 12 minutes works for 1in, thicker needs more time. I used an instant pot 8 qt air fryer.

The recipe doesn’t call for smoked paprika, so you dock it a star for a weird Smokey flavor that you added yourself. Weird. “Yea this motorcycle is amazing, but I switched the street tires for these racing tires on it and I wiped out. 4/5”

This recipe is amazing, I usually marinate my chops, but this time I went with the rub, added some chipotle chili pepper and it was fantastic. 5/7.

This was the best recipe!! I overcooked them the first time i made them but they were still delicious. My very picky son requested them again and they were moist and juicy.

I made these today! I used Swerve Brown Sugar but that was the only sub. They were devine. I never ever had a more tender pork chop. Thank you!

crazy good!! please advise if you can substitute chicken breast? how would you adapt cooking time, temp.?

These are LITERALLY the BEST pork chops I have ever eaten. They were truly restaurant quality! Thank you for not only making my dinner an easy one to make but outstanding and enjoyable as well! My family and I couldn’t get enough!

I’m late to the game but I made it. Definitely a tasty chop recipe! Thank you.

Wow!  I used mustard as a binder instead of dried mustard. Will use this again and again!

Made this twice and it was delicious each time. Thank you for an easy and yummy recipe!

I just made these OMG they are absolutely the best. I used thick boneless chops and cooked them 14 mins. Turning them over halfway as instructed. The rub is perfect and they came out so juicy. Definitely a keeper.

This recipe is definitely a keeper. Used it with and without the ground mustard -- delicious. My new favorite!  Have also used the same seasonings when making chicken breast.

I've made this twice. The first time exactly as printed. Didn't care for the thick chops and had to add cook time. Also too peppery for my taste. The second time I used 4 thinner boneless chops, cut the pepper to 1/2 tsp and did everything else the same. They came out perfect. They had a delicious crunchy, caramelized coating that tastes like heaven. I'll never cook pork chops any other way. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

I made these with Splenda brown sugar. They are amazing. I had bone in thick chops so I cooked about 7 minutes longer. Delicious.
