Air Fryer Breaded Pork Chops

Making a delicious dinner out of pork is a challenging task as it will take a lot of time and attention. This is why many people have to wait for the weekend to make their favorite pork dinner.

However, with this air fryer breaded pork chops recipe, you don’t have to leave your pork dinner plans at weekends as you can make them in half an hour just using your air fryer.

Are Pork Chops Boned or Boneless?

Pork chops can be either boneless or boned. The main reason behind this is that you can take chops from different regions of a pork body. If you take the chops pieces from the rib cage or loin region, they will be boned. However, if you take the chops cut from the upper portion of the back legs, they will be boneless. You can use your air fryer to make any of these two types of pork chops. However, bone chops might take some extra time.

What Should You Do to Make Your Pork Chops Juicier and More Tender Inside?

The best way to get extra juicy chops is to brine them. Soaking them in salted pickle water for some time will help soften the inner material and make it juicy. However, while doing so, ensure that you are not adding salt to the seasoning as the brined pork chops have already contained it.
