The cooking time for pork chops in an air fryer depends on their thickness and whether they are bone-in or boneless:
- For bone-in pork chops about 1-inch thick, cook at 400°F for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway through. Thinner chops take 8 to 12 minutes, while thicker chops need more time
- Boneless pork chops around 1.5 to 2 inches thick can be cooked at 375°F for about 9 minutes, flipping halfway
- Another method suggests cooking thick center-cut pork chops (about 1.5 inches) at 360°F for 14 to 16 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F
The key to perfectly cooked pork chops is to use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F, followed by a 3-5 minute rest to let juices redistribute
Summary:
- Bone-in, 1-inch thick: 400°F for 12-14 minutes
- Boneless, 1.5-2 inches thick: 375°F for 9 minutes
- Thick center-cut (~1.5 inch): 360°F for 14-16 minutes
Always flip halfway and rest the pork chops before serving for best results.
