Air Fryer Pork Chop Bites -- Are you looking for a delicious and healthy meal that your entire family will love? Look no further than air fryer pork chop bites! This simple yet flavorful recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or any night of the week.

Ingredients 

  • 2 Boneless pork chops, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, for breading
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, Panko for extra crunchiness
  • Dipping sauces, optional, for serving

Instructions

  • Begin by trimming any excess fat from your boneless pork chops. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  • In a bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Season the pork bite pieces evenly with this mix.
  • Set up a breading station with three separate bowls or shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  • Dip each pork bite piece first into the flour, ensuring it's lightly coated. Tap off the excess.
  • Next, dip the flour-coated pork piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  • Finally, coat the pork piece thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Ensure it's well covered, pressing the breadcrumbs gently onto the pork for better adherence. Place the breaded pork bite on a tray or plate.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Lightly spray or brush the breaded pork bites with cooking spray or oil. This helps in achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
  • Place the pork bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching or overlapping. This allows hot air to circulate around each piece, ensuring even cooking.
  • Cook the pork bites in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking on both sides. They should turn a nice golden brown when done.
  • Always check a larger piece to ensure it's cooked through before serving.
  • Remove the pork bites from the air fryer and let them sit for a minute or two.
  • Serve them hot with your choice of dipping sauces, like BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
