Notes
- Really work the rub into the pork chop to infuse as much flavor as possible.
- Dry rubs work better than wet sauces. If a sauce is preferred, I recommend adding it during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Don't skip patting the meat dry, doing so creates less steam when air frying the pork chops.
