Air Fried Pork Chops Recipe
Follow these simple steps to create the most delicious air fryer pork chops:
- In a bowl, combine panko, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

Can You Put Frozen Pork Chops in an Air Fryer?
Yes, you can! If you’re in a hurry, you can cook thin, boneless pork chops from frozen in the air fryer. Start by cooking them for 4 minutes at 380°F to defrost them. Add an extra minute if needed or if your chops are 1-inch thick. Thicker pork chops may require more defrosting time. Once defrosted, coat them in seasoning and breadcrumbs, and follow the recipe instructions, cooking for another 5 minutes before flipping, and then 4-6 more minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
The air fryer method guarantees the juiciest pork chops you’ll ever make. The heat in the air fryer keeps the outside crust crispy while the inside remains succulent and flavorful!
