Which pork chops can be used in an air fryer?

You can use any cut of pork chop in an air fryer, including thin or thick cuts, bone-in or boneless. The only thing to note is that cooking times will vary depending on the cut you choose and some may be drier than others. Thicker, bone-in cuts take longer to cook but are juicier. And boneless, thin cuts can dry out easily but cook quickly. Just keep that in mind when you decide.

Bone-in Pork Chops vs. Boneless Pork Chops

The main difference is that bone-in pork chops are less dry. The bone and fat in these cuts add flavor and release moisture, which can prevent the chops from becoming dry. However, lean, boneless pork chops also have some great benefits. When not overcooked, they’re not overly dry and cook in 10 minutes, helping to get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. I cook both boneless and boneless pork chops depending on how much time I have to cook and what’s available at the store when I go shopping.

Seasoning for Air Fryer Pork Chops

Although I make my own spices, other store-bought spices can be used as well. BBQ Rub, Steak Seasoning, Fajita Seasoning, Berbere, and if you’re looking for something special, you can try this Ancho Espresso Coffee Rub.

If you want to try my spice mix, just keep the leftovers in a small jar and add to other recipes like grilled veggies, shrimp, or chicken.

Helpful tips & tricks

• Pat the pork chops dry. This will remove excess moisture that is making it harder for the oil to stay on the chops.
• Preheat air fryer. Always preheat the air fryer so it’s at the right temperature when you add the pork chops so they get a little crispy.
• Cooking time will vary depending on thickness. The thickness of the pork chop, as well as the type of air fryer you use, can vary the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is at least 145ºF.
• let her rest If you cut into the pork chop while it’s fresh out of the air fryer, all the juices will run out and it will become dry. Wait to cut and serve so they can be absorbed.
