- I tried a three-ingredient air-fryer recipe for pork chops, and was very impressed by the results.
- The air-fryer method significantly reduces post-cooking cleanup time, which I love.
- Ultimately, I was able to make perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy pork chops in just 15 minutes.
I love using my air fryer, and I haven't found many things it can't cook really well.
So, I was pretty optimistic when I tried making air-fryer pork chops for the first time — and the recipe I found from food blog Chewable Structures couldn't be easier.
After all, it doesn't require any marinade or time-intensive prep work.
The ingredients are simple and easy to customize.I bought thin-cut, bone-in pork chops.Chelsea Davis
For this recipe, I used thin-cut, bone-in pork chops. After patting them dry, all I needed to do was coat each one with a drizzle of olive oil and give it a little massage.
Next, I had to season the chops. The recipe suggests using the McCormick chipotle-and-roasted-garlic seasoning. However, you can easily create your own blend depending on what you like.
I made one with salt, pepper, roasted garlic, onion powder, and chipotle pepper. (This technically meant I used a little more than three ingredients, but I didn't mind at all.)
After preheating the air fryer, the chops are ready to start cooking.I was really looking for the flavors to marry together into the pork chops.Chelsea Davis
The only other prep I had to do for the recipe was preheating my air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
No matter what type of air fryer you have, though, just be sure to give each pork chop enough room in the basket. This will help them to cook evenly.
My air fryer has two baskets, so I cooked one pork chop in each basket for 10 minutes on one side and five minutes on the other.
My best tip is to choose thin pork chops.This recipe works well with thin pork chops, but you can buy thicker ones if you prefer.Chelsea Davis
Because the meat was sliced thin, my pork chops cooked up very quickly. This recipe works with thicker chops, but you'll need to increase the cooking time.
Whether you choose bone-in or boneless pork chops is up to you, but I find bone-in pork chops to be more flavorful.
The pork chops were ready in 15 minutes and tasted amazing.This simple recipe takes very little time and effort and it's absolutely delicious.Chelsea Davis
Within about 15 minutes, my meat was cooked. And, as the recipe said, the pork chops retained their moisture thanks to the olive-oil coating.
This coating also helped the seasoning stick to the meat better, creating a nice crust on the chop.
This simple recipe took very little time and effort, and the result was absolutely delicious. Minimal dishes were required, and I loved not having to monitor the chops on the stovetop or preheat my oven, either.
I can't see myself making pork chops in anything but my air fryer after this, and I will definitely be making this quick, easy air-fryer recipe again.
