Ingredients and Variations 

PORK CHOPS: Use thick or thin loin chops, boneless or bone in. For best results make sure they are ½” thick. If using thin chops, remember they will take less time to cook. This recipe can be cooked using frozen pork chops, but make sure chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

SHAKE AND BAKE: Purchase pre-made Shake ‘n Bake Pork coating. Thinner chops will need less coating than thick chops, so use a little at a time, and save the extra for another meal. Feel free to add some garlic or onion powder, or other seasonings like paprika. For a spicy kick, mix in a Tablespoon of Jerk Seasoning.

Perfect Pork Chops Every Time!

• Preheating the air fryer ensures tender and juicy meat. When the chops hit the heat, the outside will seal immediately so the juices don’t escape during cooking.
• Pork chops should reach in internal temperature of 145°F before serving.
• Never overcrowd an air fryer, since air circulation is what makes the fried food taste so good. If more than 4 chops are being made, it’s best to cook them in batches. 
• Always allow pork chops (and other meats) to rest before serving. For thinner cuts of meat 5 minutes should be enough. 

Leftovers

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days. Slice and add to cold sandwiches, wraps, or salads, or reheat whole chops in the air fryer. Just preheat to 375°F and heat for 3 to 5 minutes. The air fryer will make them taste just as good as the first time they were served!
