These are incredible! I haven’t eaten better pork chops in years. They are crispy on the exterior yet juicy on the inside when air fried, and they are more healthier than stovetop!
Simply massage the pork chops with olive oil and treat them with a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips for Air Frying Breaded Pork Chops
- For a few minutes, preheat the air fryer. Alternatively, increase the cooking timer by a few minutes.
- Cooking time might range from 8 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
- Experiment with different spices to discover the ideal blend for you. Add chili powder to make it spicy, or chopped herbs to make it fresh.
- The panko bread crumbs provide the right crispy flavor, as does rotating the chops halfway through cooking, which provides even crispiness.
- Refrigerate the air-fried pork chops in an airtight container. They can keep for up to 4 days. All you have to do is reheat them.
FAQs
How long does it take pork chops to cook in air fryer?
Heat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray each side of the pork chops with frying spray and put in the air fryer basket once warm. Cook for 5 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 4-6 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Using a meat thermometer, check the interior temperature (it should be 140°F).
Does air fryer dry out pork chops?
Pork chops are juicy and tasty when cooked correctly, and they may be ready in less than 20 minutes. The key is not to overcook them, since they will dry out. I like to cook bone-in air fryer pork chops because the bone maintains moisture and adds flavor to the completed meal.
How long do you cook pork chops in an air fryer and at what temperature?
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes, turning halfway through, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). For bone-in pork chops, cook for an additional minute.
Why are my air fryer pork chops tough?
If your air fryer pork chops are tough, they are most certainly overdone. Remove the pork chops from the oven at 135 to 140 degrees F and set aside for 10 minutes to rest.
Is it better to cook pork chops fast or slow?
Slow cooking is definitely my favorite method for preparing pork chops. It’s a simple and proven method for making fork tender pork chops, which is how I like them.
Is it better to cook pork chops at 350 or 400?
Baking pork chops at 350 degrees F will result in more soft and gently cooked pork chops, but it will take longer. Because the lower, slower baking ensures that the pork cooks all the way through, this temperature is great for thicker chops (between 1 and 2 inches) as well as pan-seared chops.
What is the best way to cook pork chops so they are not dry?
Because one of the greatest methods to bake pork chops is to start them in a hot oven and then move them to an oven-safe pan. High-heat frying turns them golden brown, while baking them in a fairly heated oven (400 degrees F) keeps them from drying out.
What can you season pork chops with?
Salt and pepper are the simplest ways to season pork chops; we use kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cooking immediately after seasoning with salt and pepper is critical—if you wait, the salt will drain water from the meat, resulting in dry pork chops.
How do you keep pork chops moist and tender?
Tender Pork Chops Recipe
Choose thick-cut, bone-in pork chops. Thin-cut pork chops will not sear adequately in the amount of time required to cook them thoroughly.
Skip the brine and season liberally instead.
Allow the pork chops to rest.
Sear pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Baste the pork chops with the sauce.
Allow the pork chops to rest once more.
Serve.
Can you put foil in an air fryer?
It’s tempting to toss some foil in there to collect any drips and make clean-up even quicker, but is it allowed? The simple answer is yes, aluminum foil may be used in an air fryer.
