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.

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!
