This is a great air fryer pork chops recipe to start this list off with. If you really want to up your pork chops game, invest in a quick read thermometer to get an accurate internal temperature reading. The common reason pork chops end up tough and dry is from overcooking them.

2. Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

Most people don't get too excited over pork chops because of bad experiences with sad and flavorless plates of the food. Your air fryer can change all of that. We love this recipe because it coats the chops in parmesan cheese and spices to form a delicious crust. Not only that, but this recipe can also be prepped and on the table in 20 minutes flat.

3. Boneless Japanese Tonkatsu Pork Chops

This is a lifesaver as making traditional tonkatsu can be messy and requires a lot of oil. This particular recipe requires none but you may want to spray your basket to prevent sticking.

A simple dry rub in this recipe gives a huge flavor boost to this air fry pork chops recipe. Almost similar to a BBQ dry rub and gives the pork chops a sweet and smoky flavor to them. It's recommended that you use thick, bone-in chops for this recipe since it calls for a higher cooking temperature.

5. Breaded Air Fryer Pork Chops

Just as the recipe says, these pork chops are a cinch to make. They're perfect for those days where you don't really feel like cooking but still want a delicious and filling meal. To make sure your pork chops properly cook, make sure to not stack them which hinders the circulation of hot air inside the air fryer.

7. Air Fryer Pork Chops With Kiwi Sauce

Season the meat with salt and pepper and add a side dish of vegetables and tropical fruit to make a unique and delicious pork chop recipe. Create the sauce by putting kiwi, butter, mayonnaise, and sugar in a food processor. You can also add red peppers for a zing.

8. Southern Style Pork Chops

A lighter version of a Southern comfort food meal that gets a lot of its flavor from a coating of buttermilk, flour, and seasoning salt. Once fried off, serve immediately.

Alternatively, you can top the pork chops with a drizzle of hot sauce and place it in between some toasted bread for an amazingly tasty sandwich.

9. Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Serving pork with sweet sauces or sweet accompaniments is a classic pairing. This recipe is a perfect example of that concept, with a delicious honey garlic sauce that also has a spicy kick.

The recipe yields a sauce that is mild but you can always up the ante by adding more sweet chili sauce or substituting in another hot sauce that you prefer.

10. Keto Air Fryer Pork Chops

Sometimes less is truly more. That's definitely the case with this recipe with only 3 basic ingredients but a ton of flavor. For this particular recipe, try to go with pork chops with a little more fat on the outside. This will help insulate the pork chops as they cook and help keep them juicy.

11. Extra Crispy Air Fryer Pork Chops

The secret to getting the exterior extra crunchy is a mixture of panko bread crumbs and crushed corn flakes. Not only that, they only need about 12 minutes of cooking time and they're ready to eat. A recipe that truly proves an air fryer can deliver crispy food without a lot of oil.
