Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 boneless pork chops, thick cut
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- About 15 minutes before you're ready to start cooking, generously salt both sides of the pork chops with about 1 tbsp of salt. For the most tender meat, salt them 30-60 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375° F. In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Season both sides of the pork chops.
- Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket and air fry for 14 minutes, flipping halfway. The pork chops should be 145° F inside. Remove pork chops from the air fryer, tent with foil on a plate and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Cook time varies by thickness. For ½-inch thin boneless chops, reduce to 8–10 minutes. For 1½-inch bone-in chops, increase to 16–20 minutes.
- Always check internal temperature. Pork chops are done at 145°F at the thickest part.
- Dry brine for extra juicy chops. Salt both sides 30–60 minutes before cooking. This is the single biggest factor in tenderness.
- No need to flip more than once. One flip at the halfway mark is plenty for even cooking and a nice crust on both sides.
- Storage: Refrigerate cooled chops in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Air fry at 350°F for 3–4 minutes with a spritz of olive oil. Avoid microwaving if you want to preserve texture.
