How Long Will It Take to Cook Pork in An Air Fryer?
The accurate cooking timing depends on various things. But the rule of thumb is to set the Air Fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F to preheat. Oil coat the sides of the pork chops; we like the additional crispiness that the oil provides (NOTE: Oil is optional). Then apply the dry ingredients on all sides of the pork chops. Cook pork chops for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
