Time to drag out your air fryer (or invest in one if you don't have one yet!) and prepare yourself to enjoy these juicy pork chops!
Ingredients
4 cups water, divided
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 large bay leaf
4 (6 ounce) pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick
1 large egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
extra-virgin olive oil cooking spray
1 sprig of fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
1 sprig of rosemary for garnish (optional)
Directions
Pour 1 cup water in a 4-cup microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave until boiling, about 4 minutes. Stir in kosher salt and sugar, until dissolved. Add remaining 3 cups water to make a brine. Place rosemary sprig and bay leaf in a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Carefully pour in brine and add pork chops. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate about 2 hours. Remove chops from the brine and discard the brine. Pat chops dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Break egg into a shallow bowl and beat lightly. Combine panko, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning blend, and black pepper, and place on a plate or cutting board. Dip each pork chop in the egg, then coat all sides with the panko mixture. Spray both sides of the coated chops with extra-virgin olive oil. Place chops in the air fryer in a single layer, with chops not touching, and air-fry for 7 to 8 minutes per side, for a total of 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve warm, garnished with parsley and additional rosemary sprigs, if desired.

Old Forester Rye Whiskey
Description
In 1870, our founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by sealing Bourbon in a glass bottle for the first time. Five generations and nearly 150 years later, we are proud to introduce the first Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky from The First Bottled Bourbon. A historic recipe, acquired in 1940 by Owsley Brown I, Old Forester Rye benefits from a fully natural fermentation process, forgoing the need for artificial enzymes commonly found in high rye mash bills. Additionally, a generous percentage of malt yields a unique floral character, balancing the sharp, brisk spice of the rye grain. Continuing our legacy of quality and consistency, Old Forester uses its own proprietary yeast strain, produces every barrel and distills every drop. At 100 proof, Old Forester Rye plays beautifully in a cocktail but also stands up boldly on its own.
Details
Mashbill: 65% rye, 20% malted barley, 15% corn
Proof: 100 (50% ABV)
Region: Louisville, Kentucky
Color: Chestnut brown
Nose: Brown sugar, banana, floral, sassafras, candied lemon
Taste: Black pepper, general spiciness, cinnamon, dill, baked apples, mixed nuts

Price: $25 (750ml)
Rating: 90
