how long do you cook pork chops in the air fryer

Most air fryer pork chops cook in about 10–15 minutes at 375–400°F (190–205°C), but the exact time depends on thickness and whether they’re bone- in or boneless.

Quick Scoop: Time & Temperature

For typical chops in a preheated air fryer:

• Boneless, 1/2 inch thick: 7–9 minutes at 400°F, flip halfway.

• Boneless, about 3/4–1 inch thick: 10–12 minutes at 390–400°F, flip halfway.

• Bone-in, 1/2 inch thick: 9–11 minutes at 400°F, flip halfway.

• Bone-in, about 1 inch thick: 13–15 minutes at 400°F, flip halfway.

Always cook until the internal temperature in the thickest part hits at least 145°F (63°C), then let the chops rest 3–5 minutes so they stay juicy.

Safety-first rule

• Time is just a guide; a meat thermometer decides when they’re done.
• Insert it into the thickest part (not touching bone); once it reads 145°F, you’re good to rest and serve.

Think of the timing charts as your shortcut and the thermometer as your “truth checker” for perfect, tender pork chops every time.

TL;DR: Start with 10–12 minutes at 390–400°F for 3/4–1 inch chops, flip halfway, and cook until 145°F inside, adjusting a few minutes up or down for thinner or thicker pieces.
