The Best air fry pork chop recipe
I love making air fryer pork chops because they turn out perfectly juicy and crispy every time without the mess of deep frying. My kids actually ask for these pork chops for dinner which never happens with oven baked ones. The air fryer cooks them so fast that I can get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes on busy weeknights. Plus these pork chops are healthier than pan fried versions since you use just a light spray of oil. The outside gets that golden brown crust while the inside stays tender and moist. This recipe works great for a quick family dinner or even when you have guests over because it looks impressive but is so simple to make.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Pork Chops
1. How long do I cook pork chops in the air fryer?
For 1 inch thick boneless pork chops cook at 400 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes. Flip them halfway through. Always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure it reaches 145 degrees F.
2. Do I need to preheat my air fryer for pork chops?
Yes preheating your air fryer for about 3 minutes helps the pork chops start cooking right away and gives them a better crust. It also helps them cook more evenly.
3. Can I use bone in pork chops for this recipe?
Absolutely. Bone in pork chops work great in the air fryer. They may need a couple extra minutes of cooking time since they are thicker. Just make sure the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F.
4. Why are my air fryer pork chops dry?
Dry pork chops usually mean they were overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to avoid this. Also patting them dry and using a little oil helps seal in moisture. Do not skip the resting time after cooking.
5. Can I add a sauce or marinade to the pork chops?
You can marinate the pork chops for 30 minutes before cooking but pat them dry before seasoning. If you want a sauce like barbecue or honey garlic brush it on during the last 2 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
