How To Make Breaded Air Fryer Pork Chops

1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 200��C (400��F). This ensures those pork chops get the best, uniform heat treatment.
2. In three separate buckets, place flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of bread crumbs with paprika, garlic, salt and pepper.
3. Dip each pork chop first in the flour, then the egg, and lastly in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each chop is fully coated and the seasoning is well-distributed.
4. Arrange the breaded chops in the air fryer basket and cook for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute, making your pork chops even more tender and delicious.

Tips For The Best Results

• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Give those chops some space to become perfectly crispy.
• You can lightly spray the pork chops with cooking oil for a more golden texture.

Storage Tips

• Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• You can re-crisp them in the air fryer before serving.
