How To Cook Pork Chops In Ninja Foodi Grill
Here are the simple steps, to make a batch of Pork Chops in The Ninja Foodi Grill, Ninja Foodi Woodfire, or Ninja Foodi XL.
Remove your pork from the fridge and allow it to sit on the counter while you prepare the breading station. In a medium bowl, crack your egg, use a fork, to whisk. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, parsley, & garlic powder. Set aside.
Preheat Ninja Foodi Grill to 350 degrees F, for 5 minutes. Use a fork to poke each pork chop in a few different places this helps to tenderize.
Then individually dip each pork chop in the egg mixture (coating it completely) and then dip it into breadcrumb mixture (again coating it completely).
Place the pork chops on the Ninja Foodi Rack. Space them out so they aren’t touching and aren’t on top of each other. Set cook time for 12-15 minutes. Flipping halfway through.
Pro Tips Ninja Foodi Grill Pork Chops
- Preheat the Grill: Always preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill for about 5 minutes before adding the pork chops. Preheating ensures the grill reaches the optimal temperature for even cooking and searing.
- Choose the Right Cut: Use boneless pork chops that are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Thicker cuts will cook more evenly and stay juicy. Bone-in chops can also be used but may require additional cooking time.
- Season Generously: Season your pork chops with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and other favorite spices. Let the seasoning sit for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Use Marinades or Brines: Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Alternatively, brining the chops in a saltwater solution can help keep them juicy and add flavor.
- Oil the Grill Grates: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the pork chops from sticking. This also helps to achieve a nice, even sear.
- Use the Grill Function: Set the Ninja Foodi Grill to the grill function, using the high setting for a good sear. Place the pork chops on the grill and close the lid to maintain consistent heat.
- Monitor Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. Cook them to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for a juicy and tender result. Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Place the pork chops on the grill with enough space between them to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding can cause uneven heat distribution and result in improperly cooked meat.
- Flip Once: Flip the pork chops only once during cooking to maintain the juices and achieve an even sear on both sides.
- Rest Before Serving: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for about 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices to settle back into the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful chop.

I made these and the flavor was really good. They were juicy, but not crispy on the outside. Would that improve if I omit the egg wash?
