Expert Tips
- Preheat Air Fryer – If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat option, then run the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Coating Pork Chops – Make sure to leave air in the freezer bag when sealing the bag so that the pork and seasoning mixture in the bag can move around easier.
- Cooking Spray – Do not spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray as it can damage the coating of the air fryer baskets.
- Cooking Pork Chops – Once you flip the pork chops, watch them closely. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit so that they don’t get over cooked. We recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure they are fully cooked.
