Provided by Bibi

Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 (5 ounce) bone-in center loin pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
½ cup apricot all-fruit spread
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 (1 inch) piece ginger root, peeled and grated
2 cloves minced garlic
1 ½ teaspoons Asian chili-garlic sauce
½ medium lime, juiced
cooking spray
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine water, salt, and sugar in a bowl and stir until the crystals are dissolved. Add pork chops, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours.
  • Remove pork chops from the brine and shake off excess. Discard the remaining brine. Pat chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate or cutting board.
  • Combine chili powder, onion powder, salt, and white pepper in a small bowl. Distribute 1/2 of the rub mixture among the 4 chops and rub to coat the entire surface. Turn the chops and repeat. Allow chops to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine apricot all-fruit spread, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, chili-garlic sauce, and lime juice for the glaze in a medium, microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave mixture on high for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Carefully remove glaze and set aside.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer. Spray each side of seasoned and rubbed chops with cooking spray.
  • Place chops in the air fryer in a single layer and air-fry for 8 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Brush the tops of the chops with prepared glaze and air-fry until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle chops with minced parsley, and serve with remaining glaze.
