Olive Oil - Oil adds moisture to the meat and also assists with browning. Any light flavored oil will work too. Brown Sugar - Pork is always good with a little bit of sweetness. This browns up beautifully as well. You can leave the sugar out to reduce sugar or carbs if needed. Salt and Pepper - for best flavor, use kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Paprika - I love the color that this spice adds to pork chops, and the warmth, and slight spiciness. Garlic Powder - This brings a lot of flavor to our spice rub. Onion Powder - Onion powder is sweeter than actual onions, and finished out our simple spice rub so that your pork chops are delicious.

WHAT TEMPERATURE DO YOU PUT THE AIR FRYER ON FOR PORK CHOPS I find that a temperature of 400F/204C is perfect for air fryer pork chops. This cooks them quickly and evenly. Make sure to preheat your air fryer for best results. HOW LONG DO PORK CHOPS TAKE TO COOK IN THE AIR FRYER? 8-9 minutes cooking time is needed for boneless pork chops. Bone-in Pork chops may need 1-2 minutes of extra time. Check the temperature of your chops with a meat thermometer. Air Fryer pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C. At this temperature they may still be slightly pink in the center. For well done chops, cook to 170°F. DO PORKCHOPS NEED TO REST? Yes, like steaks and chicken, pork chops should rest after cooking and before slicing in to them. This lets the juices redistribute inside of the pork and keeps them from running out when you cut the meat. With this recipe, I suggest letting the chops rest for up to 5 minutes. SHOULD I TRIM THE FAT OFF OF AIR FRYER PORK CHOPS? This method cooks pork chops fairly quickly, so there isn't really time for large bits of fat to render down nicely. When making pork chops in the air fryer, I suggest trimming off most of the extra fat before cooking. The recipe should work in other air fryers.
