How To Make air fried pork chops
-
Step 1Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.
-
Step 2Place the chops in a sealable container or bag and pour the buttermilk over top. Let soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
-
Step 3In a shallow dish, mix the Panko and Parmesan.
-
Step 4Transfer the pork chops, one at a time, to a plate, letting the buttermilk drip off.
-
Step 5Sprinkle each chop evenly with the salt and pepper.
-
Step 6One at a time, place the pork chops into the Panko mixture. Cover with the crumbs on both sides, pressing them firmly so they adhere to the pork well.
-
Step 7Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
-
Step 8Remove the preheated air fryer basket and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
-
Step 9Place the pork chops in the basket. Lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with the olive oil spray. (Don’t overcrowd the basket. The pork chops can be close together just make sure they do not touch. If you have a small air fryer, the chops will need to be cooked in batches.)
-
Step 10Fry for 6 minutes.
-
Step 11Flip the pork chops.
-
Step 12Lightly spray the tops of the flipped pork chops with the olive oil spray.
-
Step 13Fry for another 6 minutes.
-
Step 14Let the chops cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack while the juices redistribute.
