Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Pound the chops thin with a meat tenderizer.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and brown the chops lightly on each side.
- Move the chops to a shallow baking dish. Scatter the sliced onions over the chops, sprinkle with brown sugar and pour the chili sauce over all.
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes (or until done, depending on the thickness of your chops). I usually flip them midway through so that they cook evenly in the sauce on both sides.
- Smother chops with onions and sauce and serve.

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.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Pork Chops: Opt for bone-in pork chops with a thickness of 1 inch or more. This ensures they stay juicy during cooking.
- Brining the Pork Chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes helps enhance their flavor and tenderness.
- Patting Dry the Pork Chops: Before cooking, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice sear.
- Searing the Pork Chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with butter or oil until they develop a golden brown crust. This caramelizes the natural sugars and locks in the juices.
- Making the Chili Apricot Glaze: Combine apricot preserves, chili sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and orange juice in a saucepan. Simmer until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Glazing the Pork Chops: Brush the pork chops with the prepared chili apricot glaze during the last few minutes of cooking. This coats them in a flavorful and glossy glaze.
- Resting the Pork Chops: Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy pork chop.
Conclusion:
These pork chops with chili apricot glaze are a delightful combination of sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors. The brining process and careful cooking ensure that the pork chops remain moist and tender, while the glaze adds a burst of flavor. Serve these pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad, for a complete and satisfying meal. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the stove, and let's create a culinary masterpiece!
