Air Fryer Fried Pork Chops in 15 minutes!

No ratings yet
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and ready in under 20 minutes. These Air Fryer Fried Pork Chops are so good, but without the deep fryer mess. Only a handful of pantry spices, and that golden crust is unreal.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork chops 1 inch thick, bone-in
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • oil spray

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Pat pork chops dry using a paper towel
  2. Season both sides with salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  3. In one bowl, beat the egg. In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
  4. Dip pork chops in egg, then coat thoroughly in flour mixture.
  5. Press the coating in so it sticks. Get rid of excess coating.
  6. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
  7. Place pork chops in the basket in a single layer. Spray generously with oil.
  8. Air fry at 425°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  9. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not skip the cornstarch and baking powder. That is what gives you that crispy crunch.
  • Spray oil generously. Dry flour equals dry crust.
  • Let them rest. Juices redistribute and stay inside.
  • Use a thermometer. 145°F is juicy. Overcooking makes them tough.
  • Air fryers vary. Mine is new and cooks really quickly. Add more time if the meat needs more time to cook.
