Pork Chops seasoned with a dry rub, cooked in the Air Fryer (or oven) then finish cooking with added BBQ sauce for a Pork Chop everyone will love. This is such a nice change from regular tasting Pork Chops and reminded me of eating pork ribs.

    • In my Ninja Foodi the broiler was best but the cast iron pan is my personal preference. The only reason is because I eat everything on my steak, fat included and with the Ninja it didn’t cook the fat enough for me to eat. In the cast iron pan I hold the steak upright and sear the fat until it is crispy on the outside yet melted on the inside. That way I can still have my fat and really rare steak too. I’m SO BAD! Lol

      • No you are not. That is one of the only times I eat the fat, on pork. I think that is one of the reasons I like them on the BBQ.

    • I use the Ninja Foodi and I love it. It has multiple settings for all the different gadgets like slow cooker, broils, sautés, dehydrates and more. Yet it is about the same size as the air fryers are. Thank You Kally!

  18. I’ve been contemplating an air fryer and you may have just convinced me. Not to mention I love pork chops! Looking forward to making this recipe!

    • My husband bought our first air fryer and I wanted nothing to do with it. All he made was fries and I thought what a waste. Then my mother gave me her brand new Ninja Foodi and the air fryer is almost all I ever use it for. I have loved everything in it (brats-sausage-wings-pork chops-potatoes-hot dogs etc.) except for shrimp. Shrimp was the ONLY thing we didn’t like and I think it’s because it cooks so quick and we love it cooked in butter with herbs. I am so happy I have an air fryer now and use it all the time.

The heat is in the 400 range but outside a child can place hands on the oven with no harm at all. Jamie Oliver talked me into it but in end bought from Milan factory to me plan. Best wishes and thanks for air drier works as good as you said
