If you are cooking bone-in pork chops, they will need to cook longer.
How many can you cook at once?
This will really depend on how large your air fryer is. If you're asking is it ok to stack them, I don't recommend it.
An air fryer basket is fairly small. So, it is tempting to place things close together or stack them on top.
But, one of the most important things you need to do is to leave room for the air to circulate. This results in the best taste and proper cooking.
Place only as many pork chops in your air fryer as will fit and allow space to circulate. This will be between two and four depending on the size of your air fryer.
Proper internal temperature for pork
When making these air fryer pork chops, keep in mind that the proper internal temperature for pork is 145 according to the US Pork Board. It's very important that you use a meat thermometer to be sure your pork is cooked completely.
Time will vary depending on if you are cooking bone-in or boneless pork chops. And, it will depend on how thick your chops are.
So, using a meat thermometer is really the best way to check.
If you're looking for air fryer pork chops with no breading, you are in luck.
I make boneless pork chops in an air fryer using a rub. The result is sweet and smoky, and in my opinion, so much better than adding breading or batter to your pork chops.
The recipe for the rub is enough for 2 servings if you use my recommendation of 1 tablespoon per pork chop.
In my opinion, nothing is worse than pulling out all of my spices to make a rub and realizing I don’t have enough and have to make more!

Air Fryer Pork Chops
Air fryer pork chops are boneless pork with sweet and savory flavors. Make this easy pork chop recipe for a healthy weeknight dinner.
Prep time: 5 Minutes Cook time: 17 Minutes Total time: 22 Minutes
Ingredients
- 4 thick cut boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For the rub
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes
- Blot pork chops with paper towel
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on each pork chop, rub all over and don’t forget the sides.
- Combine all spices for the rub, you’ll have some leftover depending on how much you use for each pork chop. I used a 1/2 tablespoon per pork chop.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon on the top of each pork chop, then rub it in until it absorbs into the meat a little bit. Flip the pork chop over and repeat with another 1/2 teaspoon of the rub mixture. Use your hands to season the sides with another 1/2 teaspoon.
- Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent the pork chops from sticking.
- Place the seasoned pork chops in the preheated air fryer with room around them for the air to circulate. My pork chops were fairly big, so I cooked them 2 at a time. Bake for 14-17 minutes total,(depending on the thickness of your pork chops. Mine were about 1-3/4 inches thick and 17 minutes was perfect), flipping halfway through the cooking time.
- Remove the pork chops and place them on a serving dish to rest for 5 minutes. This is a small extra step that helps your pork chops remain moist and flavorful!
- Garnish with fresh thyme if you’re feeling fancy!
DONNA'S NOTES
- The recipe for the rub is enough for 4 servings if you use my recommendation of 1/2 tablespoon per pork chop. In my opinion, nothing is worse than pulling out all of my spices to make a rub and realizing I don’t have enough and have to make more!
- For 1 1/4-inch thick pork chops 14 minutes was perfect in my air fryer.
