• BBQ Shake and Bake
• Salt and Black Pepper

How To Cook BBQ Pork Chops In The Air Fryer

Step 1: Season pork chops

Start by seasoning your pork chops with salt & pepper. Then dip the pork chop into the BBQ Shake & Bake, and shake off the excess. Finally, place pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Step 2: Air fry pork chops

Spray the seasoned pork chops 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. Then air fry them for another 6 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer to see if the pork is fully cooked.

Tips and Variations

• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your pork chops. The optimal temperature is 145 degrees F.
• Be generous with the spices and seasonings for extra flavor.
• If using bone-in pork chops, cook them for an additional few minutes beyond what’s indicated in the recipe due to their thicker texture.
• You can substitute Shake and Bake with homemade seasoning if you prefer.
• For added flavor, brush BBQ sauce on top of the pork chops after they’re cooked.
• Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel so the seasonings stick.
• You can use thick pork chops or thin pork chops. If using thin, you will need a shorter cook time.
• Sear the meat, including the sides of the pork chops, before air frying for better flavor.
• Add a bit of brown sugar to the seasoning rub for some extra sweet flavor.
• Serve with your favorite bbq sauce on top or for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

These juicy pork chops are delicious when served with roasted vegetables such as potatoes or carrots, steamed broccoli or green beans, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, or a simple side salad.

You can also serve them with a variety of sauces, such as BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing. Finally, for a complete meal, add some cooked grains like quinoa or brown rice, and you have yourself a complete dinner!

Storage Tips

Let leftover pork chops cool to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Then, reheat them in the air fryer at 350 degrees until warmed through.

You can also freeze pork chops for up to 2 months. Let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
