Air Fryer Pork Chops

Learn all the tips and tricks for making perfect Air Fryer Pork Chops with a maple dijon lemon sauce. 

These pork chops are juicy and full of flavor. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. The air fryer works some kind of magic when cooking protein. It really seals in the juices! I’m a big fan of chicken breasts and shrimp cooked in my Philips Air Fryer too. Cooking pork properly means an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and a 3-minute rest before slicing. A blush of pink in the center of your pork chops means you’ve done it right!

Is breading necessary for making Air Fryer Pork Chops?

I personally don’t like making a ‘shake and bake’ type of pork chop in my air fryer. I prefer a simple rub to season the pork. And then topping the pork chops with a sauce made of pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard and fresh lemon juice. 

How to make Boneless Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

The air fryer really makes the magic happen. All you have to do is oil the basket and season the pork. And then make the simple sauce for drizzling on afterwards. I recommend serving these boneless chops with some scalloped potatoes and fried apples.

How long to cook pork chops in the air fryer?

The time and temperature here depends on two things – your brand of air fryer and the thickness of your chops. In this testing recipe, mine were about 1 – inch thick. I air fried them at 375 degrees F for about 14 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. Always check your cooked meat with a digital meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees F when they are fully cooked.
