Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in approx ¾ to 1 inch thick (approx 8-12 ounces each)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Dry any moisture on the pork chops by patting them with a paper towel.
- Combine the flour with half of the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne in a shallow bowl.
- Whisk the eggs and milk in a separate shallow bowl.
- Stir the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining seasonings on a plate or in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the pork chop into the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off.
- Press both sides into the seasoned panko until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3-5 minutes.
- Spritz both sides of the coated pork chops with olive oil.
- Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes.
- Carefully flip, spritz the tops lightly with olive oil again, and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Boneless pork chops can also be used but may require 2-4 fewer minutes of cooking time.
- For extra-crispy pork chops, spray the breading generously with cooking oil before cooking.
- Every air fryer is a bit different and they all cook at different rates - so in general, all cooking times are approximate based on the pan and temperature.
- You can always cook the recipe longer if needed and reduce the heat a bit. If needed, you can tent the top if it is browning too much.
