Pork chops in the air fryer
Air fry pork chops at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 14 minutes. That is for boneless, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, in a preheated basket air fryer; the calculator above fits it to your weight, your air fryer and how you like it. Turn it halfway, so both sides brown.
It is safe once the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C), as USDA advises; a thermometer tells you more than the clock. Many people like it less done: choose a doneness above to see when to take it out. Let it rest 5 minutes before serving.
| Cut | Temperature | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Boneless | 400°F (200°C) | 10 to 14 min |
| Bone-in | 400°F (200°C) | 10 to 14 min |

Questions
What temperature should I air fry pork chops at?
400°F (200°C) for boneless, for 10 to 14 minutes. Pick another cut in the calculator and the heat and time follow it.
Should I flip pork chops in the air fryer?
Yes, halfway through, so both sides brown. Start the timer and it tells you when.
How do I check pork chops for doneness?
When the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C) on a thermometer, as USDA advises. The time gets you close; the thermometer tells you.
How many pieces fit in the basket?
As many as fit in one layer without touching. Tell the calculator how many you have and it counts the batches for your basket size.
Why let pork chops rest?
The juices settle back into the meat instead of running onto the board, and the middle finishes cooking. 5 minutes is enough.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
These times assume a preheated air fryer, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes. From cold, choose "No, from cold" and 3 minutes are added.
