Tips:

For the best results, use thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
To make sure the pork chops are cooked evenly, tenderize them before breading.
Use a light touch when breading the pork chops. Too much breading will make them heavy and greasy.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the pork chops in batches if necessary.
Cook the pork chops at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them stay moist and tender.
Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides.
