AIR FRIED THIN CUT PORK CHOPS

Naturally a lot here depends with exactly *how* thin your pork is. These from Kroger were probably close to a quarter inch - super thin. As such they took just four minutes. If you have thicker pieces of pork, cook longer and always use a thermometer. I like 360F as the temp to keep the cooking time quick, but not drying out the pork too much For regular pork chops check out this guide. Thin cut pork chops are a healthy protein choice that work well in a number of dishes; they also cook up exceedingly quickly and simply when using an air fryer. There's no splatter or mess either too - when comapred with pan frying.

  2. Season the pork chops well: This will help them develop a flavorful crust. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  3. Preheat your air fryer: This will help the pork chops cook evenly. Most air fryers have a preheat setting, but you can also preheat it by setting it to the highest temperature for 3-5 minutes.

  5. Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly on both sides.
  6. Check the internal temperature of the pork chops before removing them from the air fryer: They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
