What type of pork chops work well when air frying them?
For optimal air frying results, thick center-cut, boneless pork chops ranging between 1.5″-2″, thick are best.
Air fryering thick pork chops instead of thinner ones yields amazing seared exterior and succulent interior results, providing for deliciously delicious results every time! A well-done pork chop should deliver exactly this effect.
How long should it take for pork chops to cook in an air fryer?
That depends on which types of chops you choose for air frying; boneless or bone-in. Here is some helpful info that may give an estimate as to when pork will finish its air-fried journey:
Boneless pork chops take 8-12 minutes with flipping midway during cooking time. On the contrary, bone-in pork chops require 114 hour with flipping halfway. You should also check their internal temperature; once it reaches 145F they’re safe to serve!
Concepts for Success Do not add all the pork chops at once into an air fryer basket that may become overcrowded; cook in batches if your air fryer cannot comfortably hold all.
Use an instantaneous thermometer to track the internal temperature to avoid overcooking your chops, then allow them to rest for at least five minutes prior to serving so the juices may redistribute themselves evenly throughout.
What to Serve with Pork Chops
Simple sides make an ideal pairing with pork chops. Personally, my go-to dish would include mac and cheese; but here are other suggestions-
Greens- Air Fried Zucchini, Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Cauliflower. Potatoes- For those wanting something with more carbs we love grilled sweet potatoes, scalloped potatoes or low carb mashed potatoes as the following carb side dish. Salad- We prefer simple coleslaw salad, mock potato salad and cauliflower potato salad dishes!
Bread- For those on low-carb diets looking for low calorie bread options, tortillas, buns and traditional loaf bread are great low carb choices; while other standard offerings such as garlic bread or low calorie wraps also exist. All three require storage instructions as well. Keeping this in mind it would also be wise to store, freeze and reheat before eating it again later on!
Store pork chops using air-tight containers; they should last five days in the fridge when kept refrigerated properly.
Freeze any extra pork chops by placing in ziplock bags in your freezer – up to two months is acceptable storage!
Reheating: Microwave the pork chops for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or use a non-stick pan until scorching occurs.
