Step 1: First, make the garlic butter. Just mix the softened butter, thyme, garlic, and salt together in a small bowl until everything is well blended.

Step 2: Set up your air fryer by preheating it for 5 minutes at 400F.

Step 3: Rinse your pork chops with cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel. This makes it easier for the rub to stick and gives the meat a crispier texture.

Step 4: Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl to make a tasty rub. Ensure that you incorporate the rub into the meat well.

Step 5: Put the pork chops in the air fryer and cook them at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, turning them over halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Use a thermometer to check the temperature inside the pork to make sure it is cooked just right. 145°F is the ideal temperature for pork. This will make sure that it is safe to eat and that it is cooked just right.

Step 6: When the pork chops are done to your liking, drizzle a lot of garlic butter over them before serving. Your taste buds will love the combination of the tender meat and the fragrant, savory garlic sauce.
