Ingredients for Air Fryer Pork Chops
Pork Chops – This recipe uses boneless pork chops about ¾-inch thick. If using thinner pork chops, you’ll need to cook them for less time, while bone-in chops will need a few minutes more. Brine (optional) – A brine is a mixture of water, salt, and sugar that makes pork chops tender and flavorful. This brine is optional but it is recommended for the best results. No time to brine? Add a teaspoon of salt to the rub mixture instead. Rub – In addition to salt and pepper – brown sugar, chili powder, and garlic powder add great flavor. You can add other herbs/spices like paprika or onion powder.

Tips for Perfect Pork Chops
Avoid crowding the basket so the hot air can freely circulate around the food. Cook times depend on the thickness of the meat; it’s easy to overcook pork chops so check them early. For juicy pork chops, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove them from the air fryer at 140°F as the temperature will rise as they rest (carryover cooking).
Leftovers?
Keep leftover air-fried pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer. These easy baked pork chops are brined, seasoned, and broiled a perfect bite every time. You can bake them at different temperatures, so they’re a great main dish to go with all kinds of sides.
