How to cook pork chops in the air fryer without becoming dry
Step one - use a meat thermometer! Seriously.
Cooking times of pork chops can vary widely based on the thickness of your pork chops and also the air fryer. So I highly recommend using a meat thermometer and opening up your air fryer and testing the temperature of your pork chops.
Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F to be safe. Try not to get much over that, or your pork chops will be dry inside.
My boneless pork chops were ¾ inch thick and were cooked around the 7-8 minute mark.
If your pork chops are thinner, you may need to cook only 6 minutes. However, if your pork chops are thicker, you may need to cook for longer.
Recipe notes
- All air fryers cook differently. Cooking time may also depend on the thickness of your pork chop, adjust as needed.
- Let your pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing. This will mean that the juices stay inside the pork chop and help your pork chop stay more tender.
- If your pork chops are too try because you did overcook them, save them by serving with a gravy or sauce to help bring moisture back to the pork chops.
