Pork Chop Rub Suggestions For Air Frying?

Rickochet

I have some boneless pork chops I want to air fry and looking for a good rub to put on them. I had great luck recently with some Yellowstone smoky bourbon rub on a ribeye. Any recommendations would be appreciated. 😋

I find that you cant go wrong with a typical BBQ rub that includes:

Brown sugar
Salt
Pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Smoked paprika
Ground mustard
Dried thyme
Some red chilli flakes or cayenne if thats your thing

I use this when I smoke pork

Just don't overcook your pork ( too many people do that ) . Air fryers are much better than BBQ for ensuring they stay moist.

A good Japanese or Korean BBQ sauce is also great on pork. I typically buy Bachans off amazon. Its versatile as well. Last night reheated some roasted chicken I had in the freezer , added some Bachans and some kimchee and served it on a big white crusty roll ....

My air fryer has a super easy to use temp. probe. I just set the fryer temp. and target internal temp. and it does it's own thing then shuts off. The Yellowstone Cowboy BBQ rub has many of the ingredients you listed so I am going to try that one. Thanks.

Coat them in flour and pan fry them in oil. You'll thank me later. 😎👍

Panko bread crumbs also works great.....Maybe add a little Dan -O's

Cast iron skillet**. Chops in egg, cracker crumbs. Pan fry quickly to golden brown. Throw pan in oven and cook. No knives on table, forks only.

My Mom's melt-in-your-mouth method. 👍

** Lard or Crisco or bacon grease back in those days. (can we even say those words out loud now?🤬)

That's not why I got the air fryer oven. I want to limit the use of the beast electric range.

I'm with sdandrea on this one. his idea is my favorite (almost). I like to dip them in an egg wash or milk bath and then
put them in cracker crumbs before frying in oil. My second favorite is to use Weber Chickn'n rib seasoning and lemon pepper before grilling them. This works also for making them in the oven.

I haven't done any meats to speak of in the air fryer except for wings. I like the smoker too much.

Par4QC they now sell bacon up in the store. Someone decided to strain and package bacon grease. It's pretty good. I prefer the grease I get from my choice of bacon. It just tastes better, I just don't want to filter it.
