STEP ONE: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. 

STEP TWO: In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with ½ tablespoon of water.

STEP THREE: Press each pork chop into the flour mixture, coating them on both sides. 

STEP FOUR: Next, dip each side into the beaten egg, then dredge it through the flour mixture a second time. 

STEP FIVE: Allow the chops to sit at room temperature for 10-20 minutes to help the flour adhere before cooking.

STEP SIX: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.

STEP SEVEN: Place the pork chops into the basket in a single layer. 

STEP EIGHT: Spray the tops with cooking oil using an EVO sprayer and air fry for 8-10 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through cooking, until the internal temperature is 140-145 degrees F. If cooking thick pork chops, cook for 14-15 minutes.

STEP NINE: Allow the chops to rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve with your favorite sides.

How Long to Cook Fried Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

This is going to depend on your make and model of air fryer as well as the thickness of your pork chops.

For regular bone-in pork chops, I recommend cooking them for 8-10 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through. For thicker pork chops, cook for 14-15 minutes, still flipping halfway.

The best way to get the most accurate cooking time is to use an Instant Read Thermometer.

The pork chops are finished cooking when a thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the chop reads 140-145 degrees F.

Tips for Making the Fried Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

• Let the chops sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes after you’ve dredged them through the flour. This will help the flour adhere to the surface of the chops, giving you a crispier, crunchier exterior.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket. You want the air to be able to properly circulate around the pork chops to cook them evenly and crisp up all sides.
• Flip the pork chops halfway through so they cook evenly. This will also help them air fry to golden perfection on all sides.
• Let the chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the meat fibers to reabsorb their juices so your pork chops stay nice and tender.
