boneless pork chops in air fryer

Hello. Welcome to solsarin. This post is about “boneless pork chops in air fryer“.

Meat

Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food.^[1] Humans have hunted, farmed, and scavenged animals for meat since prehistoric times. The establishment of settlements in the Neolithic Revolution allowed the domestication of animals such as chickens, sheep, rabbits, pigs, and cattle. This eventually led to their use in meat production on an industrial scale in slaughterhouses.

Meat is mainly composed of water, protein, and fat. It is edible raw, but is normally eaten after it has been cooked and seasoned or processed in a variety of ways. Unprocessed meat will spoil or rot within hours or days as a result of infection with, and decomposition by, bacteria and fungi.

Meat is important to the food industry and to economies and cultures around the world. There are nonetheless people who choose to not eat meat (vegetarians) or any animal products (vegans), for reasons such as taste preferences, ethics, environmental concerns, health concerns or religious dietary rules.

WHY ARE MY AIR FRYER PORK CHOPS TOUGH?

If your pork chops are tough or dry, it means they’ve been overcooked. Remember that the chops are going to continue to cook for a few minutes after you remove them from the air fryer, so you want to take them out as soon as they reach 145 degrees F

How Long to Cook Pork Chops In the Air Fryer

This recipe should completely cook medium-sized pork chops in about 10 minutes in an air fryer set to 380 degrees F. Of course, since pork chops vary in thickness, it’s best to test the temperature before you dig in. An instant read food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop should read at least 145 degrees F.

How long to cook pork chops in air fryer?

Thin pork chops (½ inch thick, boneless) take 5 minutes on one side, and 4-6 minutes on the opposite side, to cook in the air fryer at a preheated temperature of 400°F. Thick pork chops (1½ to 2 inches thick, bone-in) will take slightly longer, about 6 minutes on each side

NOTES

You can use bone-in pork chops if you prefer.If using bone-in pork chops, especially if they are thicker than ½-inch, they will most likely need to cook for longer than boneless. Cook for about 12 minutes total – 6 minutes on one side, 6 minutes on the next.
Always check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer, especially if using thicker pork chops or pork chops cooked from frozen.
Let the pork chops rest 5 minutes after cooking.
If using frozen pork chops, you can defrost for 4-5 minutes at 380°F before following the recipe as instructed, or defrost first in the refrigerator overnight.

HOW LONG TO COOK PORK CHOPS IN THE AIR FRYER

The cook time will depend on the type of pork chops, as well as the thickness of the pork chops. Here is a general guideline for how long it takes to cook pork chops in an air fryer:

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

To make these air fryer pork chops a meal, serve them with a few of these side dishes:

Potatoes:Potatoes and pork chops are a perfect pair! Try Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, Air Fryer Potatoes, Oven Roasted Potatoes or a Baked Potato.
Vegetables:Add some color to your plate with Roasted Green Beans, Air Fryer Broccoli, Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Roasted Vegetables.
Salad:A fresh, flavorful salad is always a welcome addition to a meal. Try a Greek Salad, Kale Salad (pictured in these photos), or a simple Green Salad.
Bread:Our favorites include Biscuits, Garlic Bread, and Dinner Rolls

Ingredient Notes:

Pork Chops- We are looking for boneless center-cut pork chops. For this recipe, we have half-inch thick chops. If yours are thinner, you will need to be on the lower side of the cooking time. If yours are thicker, then you will need to cook more on the longer side of the cooking recommendation.

Seasoning- The seasoning blend is pretty basic. You should have no problem finding olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

What temperature are pork chops done?

Pork can safely be cooked to 145 degrees, but we do prefer a bit more well done than that. We cook pork chops to 150 degrees and then allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This will create a tender, juicy pork chop with just a hint of pink in the center. Cooking past 150 degrees will create a drier, tougher chop.

DO PORKCHOPS NEED TO REST?

Yes, like steaks and chicken, pork chops should rest after cooking and before slicing into them. This lets the juices redistribute inside of the air fryer pork chops with no breading and keeps them from running out when you cut the meat.

Serve With

You’ll want to be sure to time your dinner so everything is ready to be served together. Pork chops pair well with instant pot mashed potatoes and fluffy white rice, and just about any vegetable side. Here are some of our favorites.

What temperature do you put the air fryer on for pork chops?

Air fryers will all heat a little bit differently. It’s best to consult the instruction manual for your particular air fryer to settle on a temperature for the chops. Generally speaking, a temperature of 375 to 400 degrees should give you perfectly cooked chops that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. If using the The Pioneer Woman Air Fryer, we recommend cooking at a temperature of 400 degrees.

What to serve with Air Fryer Pork Chops Boneless:

Pork chops are good with about any type of sides. Sometimes my kids will just air fryer a pork chop and eat it while running out to practice. But most of the time, we have a complete with some of these yummy sides:

RECIPE NOTES

*I did not flip the pork chops as the air in my air fryer is able to circulate to all sides of the pork chops including the bottom. If the air in your air fryer does not circulate under the pork chops, then you would want to flip the pork chops halfway through the cooking time.

*Refrigerate any leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5-7 days.

*I find that it’s best to use a meat thermometer when cooking pork to make sure it’s done without being overcooked. I love this digital meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to a safe temperature.
