The other thing you obviously need is an air fryer. Mine is from Gourmia and I got it from Costco and I LOVE it! The hype over air fryers is real friends, I use this thing constantly during the week. I use it for everything thing from potatoes to fish sticks toast! Pro Tip: It also comes in really handy to heat up frozen food.
How To Cook Pork Chops in the Air Fryer
Because this recipe has no breading, it's super simple to make. To start, you will mix all the seasonings in a small bowl and then pat your pork chops dry. Using your hands, get the seasoning mixture fully coated around all sides of the pork chops.
From there, spray the bottom of the air fryer with a little avocado oil spray and add in your pork chops. Spritz the pork chops one more time with oil spray and that’s it! Air fry at 370 degrees for 9-11 minutes depending on the thickness of your pork chops. Ten minutes was the sweet spot for me for perfectly juicy pork chops.
I recommend taking a look at 9 minutes in and you can always add time from there if you need to depending on the thickness of your pork chops. I have also tried this recipe with breaded porkchops using the same method as my buffalo chicken strips and it works out great!

If you want juicy pork chops without the mess, this recipe is for you. I followed the exact recipe and the pork chops came out flavorful and delicious. For reference, my chops were about 1 inch thick and I used an Instant Pot with the air fryer lid. Set it to 375 degrees for 10 mins, and flipped the chops half way through. This recipe will be staple in my house! Thank you, Jen!
