​Ingredients Needed

• Boneless pork chops cut into tender, bite-sized pieces
• Seasoning mix of salt, pepper, garlic, onion, paprika
• All-purpose flour for coating and helping breading stick
• Large eggs, beaten smooth for dredging pork pieces
• Panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchy, golden coating texture
• Optional dipping sauces to serve alongside for extra flavor

How To Make Easy and Juicy Air Fryer Pork Chop Bites

Step One: Cut the boneless pork chops into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels to help the breading stick and get a crispy exterior.

Step Two: Toss the pork pieces in a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Make sure each piece is coated evenly for full flavor.

Step 3: Place the all-purpose flour on one plate. Beat the eggs in a small bowl. On another plate, spread the Panko breadcrumbs for the final coating.

Step 4: Dredge each pork piece in the flour first, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the Panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Step 5: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 6: Place the breaded pork pieces in a single layer in the basket. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7: Remove the pork bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces on the side.

Juicy Air Fryer Pork Chop Bites Recipe Tips

• Use bite-sized pieces for even cooking and crispy coating.
• Pat the pork dry before breading to help the coating stick.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
• Flip halfway through cooking for golden, evenly crisped bites.
• Serve immediately for the best texture; dipping sauces add extra flavor.

Other Cooking Methods

• Oven: Preheat to 400°F and bake the breaded pork bites on a lined baking sheet for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
• Stovetop: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the breaded pork bites for 6–8 minutes per side until cooked through and crispy.
• Air Fryer (Alternate Settings): Cook at 375°F for 12–14 minutes for slightly juicier bites, flipping halfway through.
• Instant Pot (Sauté Mode): Brown the bites for 3–4 minutes on each side, then use the Keep Warm mode to finish cooking for tender results.

Storing Instructions

Let the cooked pork chop bites cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes or until warmed through to keep them crispy. For longer storage, freeze the bites in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to
