Adjust cooking time for thicker or thinner pork chops. Some brands of Air Fryers will cook slower or faster than others, adjust accordingly.We cooked the pork chops in a 3.4 qt. Air Fryer. For that size of air fryer, 3 pork chops is about the max without overcrowding the air fryer. If you have larger size, you can probably cook 2-3 more so long as they are still in a single layer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can handle a variety of seasonings, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: If you overcrowd the basket, the pork chops won't cook evenly. Make sure to leave some space between each chop so that the air can circulate.
  • Cook the pork chops to the proper internal temperature: The safe internal temperature for pork chops is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
