Cooking
- Before cooking, let the pork chops come to room temperature.
- With pan:+ Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat and brown each side of the pork chops.+ After browning, pour in all the marinade along with 1/2 cup (120ml) of water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce thickens, leaving a luscious glaze on the meat.
- With air fryer:+ Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Cook the pork chops for 10 minutes.+ Flip the pork chops over, increase the temperature to 390°F (200°C). Brush the marinade sauce over the chops and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- With oven:+ Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).+ Place the pork chops on a grill rack with a drip tray underneath. Bake in the oven for about 7 minutes, then flip, apply the sauce all over the pork chops and continue baking for another 7 minutes.
