Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Pork Chops Take To Air Fry
The best temperature to cook pork chops without breading is 375 degrees F, which takes an average of 8-10 minutes. This will depend on the thickness of your pork chops.
If you cook your pork chops at a high temperature, 400 degrees F, you will find they get dried out in the air fryer. So, my advice is low and slow for tender and juicy pork chops!
What Temp Should Pork Chops Be Cooked To
Pork chops should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F to 160 degrees F, as measured by a food thermometer.
Allowing the pork chops to reach this temperature will ensure that they are cooked through and safe to eat. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of each chop for an accurate reading. Allow the pork chops a few minutes to rest after cooking before serving.
To achieve perfect pork chop results, it is essential not to overcook them, or else they will become dry and tough.
