Boneless Pork Chops Air Fryer Recipe:

Growing up my mom always fried pork chops. It was just the way we fixed pork chops. Now that we have been introduced with new kitchen appliances, I had to make these boneless pork chops.

My favorite part is, my kids can make these too. The ingredients are simple and the process is too.

Cooking Tips:

  • I did not flip the pork chops as the air in my air fryer is able to circulate to all sides of the pork chops including the bottom. If the air in your air fryer does not circulate under the pork chops, then you would want to flip the pork chops halfway through the cooking time.
  • I find that it’s best to use a meat thermometer when cooking pork to make sure it’s done without being overcooked. I love this digital meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to a safe temperature.
  • If you are looking to add a little spice to your pork chops, you can add some red pepper flakes. I love adding it as it adds just the right amount of spice to the pork chops.
  • If you are cooking pork chops for your family make sure when placing the pork chops in the air fryer that you give room for the air to circulate. Make sure not to stack pork chops on top of each other. This ensure that your pork chops are cooked thoroughly and taste the best.

Can you make ahead?

Yes, you can. Anytime we are cooking meat, I like to let the meat marinate in the seasoning. It helps for the seasoning to really stick to the meat for better flavor.

If I have time, I will prepare the meat in the morning and place in the refrigerator. Then it is ready to go for dinner when I am ready to cook it.
