How to Cook Pork Chops in an Air Fryer
Cooking pork chops in an air fryer is a very easy process. Use your favorite seasoning or see my recipe below. Place pork chops in an air fryer; cook at 360°F for 15 minutes. Halfway through the cooking process, turn the pork chops.
How Long Does It Take to Cook Pork Chops in an Air Fryer?
Pork chops can take anywhere between 12-20 minutes to cook in an air fryer. This would depend how thick the pork chops are. I would suggest checking a few times during the cooking process. If you’re cooking bone-in pork chops, it might take a bit longer than boneless.
Pork Temperature
Chops are done when the internal temperature registers 145°F on your meat thermometer.
At the moment, I use the Thermapen for the thermometer. As a less expensive alternative, you can find other thermometer options on Amazon.
Air fryer recipes have became a staple in our home. We use our air fryer several times a week.
I wasn’t sure which Air Fryer to get, so I got the most affordable one, Gourmia Digital Air Fryer. It’s working great for me. I would recommend reading some reviews to see what would be the best fit for you.
How Do You Preheat an Air Fryer?
Depending on the model of the Air fryer you have, your Air Fryer may already include a preheating setting. It usually comes in a form of a button, which you can click and wait for it to notify you.
If you don’t have have a preheating setting, just preheat it manually. Simply set the Air Fryer temperature to 350F and give it about 2-3 minutes to worm up.
Can You Stack Meat in an Air Fryer?
The meat should not be stacked in the air fryer. Since the cooking is done by the circulation of air, stacking meat will prevent the air fryer from cooking the food properly. If you really must stack meat in the air fryer, move things around every 5 minutes to allow all sides to cook, and increase the overall cooking time to make sure the food has enough time to cook.

Hi, depending on the thickness of the pork chops you may need to cook them longer or a shorter time. We did talk a little about different cuts of pork chops in the video.
If I am cooking in batches, how would you recommend keeping the first chops warm so they don't dry out?
Hey Donna, I would keep them wrapped in foil. Typically air fryer is best for a quick smaller portion serving.

It should be pretty similar, there are a few factors because the thickness may be different too. So the best thing to do is to check the temperature of the pork chop.

This would be with thawed pork chops.
do you have to preheat airfryer prior to placing pork chops in air fryer?
I would recommend preheating the air fryer for a minute or two. It is not required, it just adds that extra crispy layer if you do.
