Crispy Fried Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

This is a new recipe that we created, and we absolutely adore making in the Air Fryer. Even though I love Pork Chops, we don't get to enjoy them as often as we'd like. Typically, we tend to opt for Chicken instead. However, whenever we do decide to make pork chops, we always aim to exceed expectations. This recipe boasts a delicious blend of spicy and juicy flavors that give every bite a satisfying crunch! 

Cooking pork chops in the Air Fryer yields juicy, crispy, and flavorful results. What's more, it takes less than 20 minutes! The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the pork chops. To ensure even cooking, we recommend flipping them over halfway through. If using bone-in pork chops, they may require slightly more time than boneless ones. It's always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the pork chops. 

Crispy Fried Pork Chops

When cooking pork chops in an air fryer, the cooking time can vary between 12-20 minutes, It depends on the thickness of the meat. It is recommended to check on the chops a few times during the cooking process. If you are cooking bone-in pork chops, it may take longer than boneless. The cook time provided below is for bone-in pork chops.

Boneless Pork Chops

Whether you're using bone-in or boneless pork chops, the recipe remains the same. However, the cook time may vary slightly as it takes a few extra minutes for the bone-in option. Additionally, the boneless pork chops work well as a slider option.

NOTE: It's important to note that every air fryer may cook pork chops differently. To ensure they are cooked to perfection, it's suggested to check the pork chops periodically until you become familiar with the cook time in your specific air fryer

Notes

If you're using boneless pork chops, air fry them at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Flip the chops and cook them for an additional 5 minutes. If you want the crust to be extra crispy, cook them for a longer period of time. However, keep in mind that the longer you cook the pork chops, the more they will dry out.
