Air Fryer BBQ Pork Chops
This is a great meal that works, has two ingredients, and you are done.
It is done from start to finish in about 20 minutes, and most of the time, you don’t have to fret over it, so get together your side dish while the air fryer does its job.
The air fryer produces an excellent and juicy pork chop. The pork chops will come out nice and tender.
The secret I have found is that you need to generously spray them with a light, light coating of olive oil. This helps the BBQ sauce caramelize.
Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer BBQ Pork Chops

How To Make Air Fryer BBQ Pork Chops
Start by seasoning your pork chops with salt & pepper. Then dip the pork chop into the BBQ Shake & Bake, and place it in your air fryer basket. Shake off the excess.
Spray them generously with cooking spray. Air Fry, your pork chops at 360 degrees F. for 6 minutes, flip and respray the pork chops with olive oil spray, and air fry them for another 6 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer to see if the pork is fully cooked.
Can you cook bone-in pork chops in the air fryer?
The air fryer has been all the rage lately, and for a good reason. It’s a great way to cook food without using oil, which can be healthier for you. But can you cook bone-in pork chops in an air fryer? It’s so easy to make this recipe with bone-in or boneless pork chops!
Although the cooking time for bone-in will be about 5 to 7 minutes longer than boneless pork chops! The best way to tell if pork is fully cooked would be to use a meat thermometer and stick it into the thickest part of the pork chop. When it reaches 145 degrees F, remove the pork chops!
How long do they take to cook?
That will depend on how thick your pork chop is and what type of air fryer you own. Air Fryer Oven Models tend to cook a bit quicker than baskets. Remember to check your pork chops frequently, but the average time will be about 12 to 15 minutes.
Should I turn them over when cooking?
Cooking pork chops can be tricky if you’re not sure what you’re doing. Do you turn them over or not? Well, that all depends on the air fryer you are using. Depending on the heat source, you may need to flip the pork chops halfway through cooking, while others recommend leaving them alone. So, should you turn them over or not? I always recommend converting them. This way, both sides perfectly cook up!
Can I Stack Food In the Air Fryer?
No, the best t thing about an air fryer is that it uses hot air to perfectly cook up your food, so when you stack or crowd your air fryer basket, what will happen is that your food will not cook up perfectly. So, let the pork chops have some room inside your basket for best results. This will ensure that you get a great batch of pork chops!
Do I have to preheat the Air Fryer?
No, you do not have to preheat your pork chops. They will cook perfectly without any preheating.
