How Do You Cook Pork Chops in the Air Fryer?
First, season the pork chops. You can either use bone-in pork chops or boneless. I opted for boneless because it is my preference and easier to eat.
Dip the pork chops into buttermilk and then coat with flour. Creating a brine using buttermilk will produce crunchy, fried pork chops.
How Do I Fry Boneless Pork Chops?
You can follow the same instructions noted above.
I started cooking regularly when I moved into my own apartment in college. I remember pork chops was one of the first meals I cooked for myself in my new apartment.
I was eating a lot of fried foods back then. This is definitely well before technology advanced into what it is now. Fried foods were so easy to make. This is largely because I grew up in the kitchen watching my mom cook all of our favorite southern-style foods.
If you prefer for your pork chops to be juicy, opt for a lower cook time, such as 12-15 minutes in the Air Fryer.
How Long Do You Cook Pork Chops in the Air Fryer?
For really crispy pork chops you can cook them up to 20 minutes.
What Temperature Do You Air Fryer Pork Chops?
I like to fry them at 380 degrees.
How Long Do You Air Fryer Pork Chops?
After testing this recipe a few times, I prefer to cook the pork chops for around 20 minutes. This provides the perfect crunch for me. I pair my pork chops with Louisiana Sauce Hot Sauce or I eat them on toasted bread with mayo as a sandwich.

Air Fryer Southern Style Fried Pork Chops is an easy recipe using boneless pork chops, buttermilk, and zesty seasoning to provide the perfect crunchy texture. This recipe provides a lightened-up way to enjoy a down-home comfort food meal with the great taste of soul food cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tbsp buttermilk I used fat-free
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Seasoning Salt to taste You can also use either a chicken or pork rub. I used McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning
- pepper to taste
- 1 Ziploc bag
- cooking oil spray
Instructions
-
Wash and pat dry the pork chops.
-
Season the pork chops with the seasoning salt and pepper.
-
Drizzle the buttermilk over the pork chops.
-
Place the pork chops in a Ziploc bag with the flour. Shake to fully coat.
-
Marinate for 30 minutes. This step is optional. This helps the flour adhere to the pork chops.
-
Place the pork chops in the air fryer. Stacking them is ok. I prefer to cook two at a time.
-
Spray the pork chops with cooking oil.
-
Cook the pork chops for 15 minutes on 380 degrees. Flip the pork chops over to the other side after 10 minutes.

I forgot to spray them with cooking spray. The breading stuck to the basket and chops didn’t brown. They still tasted good.
