If you have the time, it’s completely worth it to brine your pork chops first. To do this, just dissolve 3 Tablespoons of salt in 4-5 cups of cold water in a bowl. Toss your chops in the brine solution, cover the bowl and refrigerate them for 30 minutes. Keep in mind that pork chops are done at 145°F, then should rest for a few minutes before serving. Overcooking, even by a few minutes can make them tough or dried out. Can I make Air Fryer Pork Chops? These pork chops turn out great in the air fryer and cook even faster.Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Prepare the pork chops exactly as directed with the mayo and panko coating. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. How do I store leftover pork chops? Allow the pork chops to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until warmed through. Reheat in the Air Fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to help restore some crispness. Or you can heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals until warm, keeping in mind the coating will soften.
