How to Make Air Fryer Boneless Pork Chops
STEP ONE: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F. Mix the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
STEP TWO: Brush the seasoned oil mixture onto both sides of each pork chop.
STEP THREE: Place the pork chops into the heated basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees F, flipping after 6 minutes of cooking.
STEP FOUR: Remove from the air fryer to a plate. Allow the meat to rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and dig in!
Tips for Success
- Don’t overcook! Nobody wants leathery chops. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the inside reaches 145 degrees F, and your meat will be just right!
- Thick-cut, boneless pork chops work best because they cook long enough to get that beautiful golden char to the outside. Yum!
- Arrange the chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly. While cooking the remaining chops, keep the pork chops warm in the oven (set to WARM or 200 degrees F).
Can You Make Juicy Pork Chops in an Air Fryer?
You bet! And it’s easy! The crucial step is to preheat the air fryer before starting. Set the fryer at 375 degrees F for about 5 minutes, then cook the pork chops for 8 to 12 minutes (depending on their thickness), flipping at the 6-minute mark. Once the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, it will be absolutely perfect! Remove from the fryer and place them on a plate to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. They should be savory and tender!
What Are the Best Pork Chops for the Air Fryer?
Boneless and bone-in chops both work very well in the air fryer! The important factor for great pork chops is Thickness. While thin chops cook fast, they aren’t as tasty as a thicker cut. A 1-inch to 2-inch chop will cook just a bit longer, so the result is juicy, flavorful meat with a light brown char on the edges. This makes a thicker-cut pork chop mouthwatering and marvelous!
