Boneless Air Fryer Pork Chop
The other day, I was wandering around the grocery store (yes, I actually enjoy wandering around grocery stores to see what new products are hitting shelves and seeing what new trendy products are out) when I spotted a pack of three thick boneless pork chops on sale! Score!
When I brought it home, the first thing I did was try to adapt my usual oven-baked pork chops to an air fryer recipe because I’ve been loving using my new air fryer to try and make oven-baked items faster and crisper. The results were pretty much what I had expected – the pork chops in the air fryer came out moist, crispy on the outside, and done in under 20 minutes!
It took me around 16 minutes for the pork chop to cook through but I also had pretty thick pieces of pork chops to begin with. If you have thinner pork chops (or if you flatten a thick one!), it’ll definitely take less than 20 minutes in the air fryer.
Dinner is done ASAP with this air fryer pork chop with no breading because skipping the breading portion cuts down on extra work/bowls to wash lol. Anyways, let’s get started on this air fryer boneless pork chops!
What Is An Air Fryer?
The Philips Turbostar Digital Airfryer is a handy appliance that mimics the results of deep frying with nothing more than hot air and little to no oil. Instead of completely submerging the food in oil, air-frying takes just a tablespoon of oil to achieve a similar taste and texture to deep-fried foods.
I prefer using the air fryer to make these pork chops is because it uses less oil and there’s less mess compared to pan-frying, and plus you get juicier pork chops that are done faster compared to baking pork chops.
What You’ll Need to make this boneless air fryer pork chop
These boneless air fryer pork chops are so easy and simple – all the ingredients are staples in my pantry so it’s perfect for days where I don’t really have a fully stocked kitchen/fridge.
- pork chops — I use boneless pork chops. If you want to make air fryer bone in pork chops, you’ll have to increase the cook time.
- flour — all-purpose flour is fine for this. I personally haven’t tried but a 1:1 subsititute for gluten-free flour should work for a gluten-free air fryer pork chop.
- powder or grated parmesan cheese — it adds a nice salty flavour to the pork chops.
- seasoning — I use garlic powder and paprika powder.
In addition, you’ll also need a large ziploc bag as you’ll combine all the dry ingredients into the bag, give it a little shake, then place the pork chops in and shake until they’re coated evenly. I prefer doing it this way if I have multiple pork chops just to save time and to avoid getting flour all over the table.
Note: I always use a meat thermometer to make sure that my meat is cooked safely. The safe internal temperature for pork is 71°C (160°F).

- Combine the flour, cheese, garlic powder, and paprika powder into a ziploc bag and shake to mix together.
- Add in pork chops. Shake to fully coat.
- Lightly spray your air fryer basket with a little bit of cooking spray.
- Place your pork chops into your basket and then on 350°F, cook for 14-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your pork chops).
- Remove and check the internal temperature, if it is at 71°C (160°F), it’s done. Let the air fryer boneless pork chops sit for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
Make Ahead Tips
- Meal prep: once cooled, store the cooked pork chop in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Reheat: To reheat your no-breading pork chops in the air fryer, set the air fryer to 370-375°F and air fry for 3-5 minutes.
Recipe Tips
- Resting the pork chops gives them a moment to redistribute the moisture. If you slice into them immediately, all the juices will run out onto your cutting board!
- Feel free to change up the seasoning. If you’re in the mood for something a tad sweeter, a tbsp of brown sugar to the coating goes a long way.
- I do not recommend overlapping the pork chops. If you have a small air fryer, you can cook them in batches or use a rack to fit a few more. I do not flip mine, if you are using a rack, you may have to readjust midway to make sure all the pork chops are cooked evenly.
- Make sure the pork chops are pat dry before adding them to the flour mixture. This helps the flour stick better.
FAQs
It really depends on the thickness of your boneless pork chops. Pork chops can take anywhere between 14 to 20 minutes to air fry. If you have bone-in pork chops, they’ll take longer to cook.
I like to air fry mine at 350°F. If your air fryer model requires pre-heating, please do so!
I do not flip my pork chops. As the model of my air fryer’s basket has a lot of holes in it to allow for airflow, the bottom of the pork chops cooks just as evenly. If your basket has fewer gaps in it, you may have to flip your boneless pork chops.
I have a ton of side dishes here on the blog! Some of my favourites to serve with pork chops are my Instant Pot mashed potatoes, Instant Pot Basmati rice with butter and garlic, avocado corn salsa, and honey sriracha brussels sprouts.

It depends on your air fryer honestly, I find that with mine, I rarely have to flip them due to the size.

Do you preheat the airfryer first?

I do not. The model of air fryer I use does not require preheating.
