How To Cook Frozen Pork Chops In Air Fryer

Frozen pork chops offer convenience. You can store them for longer periods and cook them directly from the freezer. They are a versatile protein option and easy to cook.

Follow these steps to prepare perfectly cooked and flavorful Frozen Pork Chops In Air Fryer.

Early Prep And Defrosting

Preheat your air fryer to 380F to begin this culinary adventure. This step ensures that the Air Fryer is at the optimal temperature.
Set the timer on your air fryer for 5 minutes.
While the air fryer is heating up, place the frozen chops in a single layer inside the basket.
This step will defrost the chops and allow them to reach an ideal temperature for cooking.

Preparing Flavorful Rub

It's time to prepare a delightful and flavorful rub. This Rub will boost the taste of the porks.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. This includes spices, salt, and pepper. (Feel free to experiment with different combinations to suit your preferences.)
Ensure that all the ingredients are well-mixed, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that will infuse into the chops during the cooking process.

Adding The Finishing Touches

After defrosting for 5 minutes, open the air fryer basket and remove the chops. Place the chops on a cutting board.

For a crispy exterior, give the chops a light spray of cooking oil. This step will enhance the flavor and help you achieve a golden brown visually appealing finish.
After spraying the chops, take the flavorful rub prepared earlier and sprinkle it generously over the chops.
Make sure to coat each chop evenly as it will help spices to penetrate the meat and create a tantalizing taste sensation.

Cooking To Perfection

Your chops are now ready for cooking. It's time to return them to the air fryer basket.

Set the timer for 12-18 minutes. (This time will vary with the thickness of the chops).
Flip the Chops after regular intervals for a perfect golden color during cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check that chops reach an internal temperature of 145F. This temperature ensures the meat is safe while retaining its juiciness and tenderness.

Serving And Enjoying

After cooking, remove the chops from the Air Fryer basket and let them rest for 5 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful.
Now serve them as you wish.

Tips For Great Taste & Success

Preheat your Air Fryer, as it will help you start cooking as soon as possible.
Dry out your Frozen Pork Chops a little bit. Because they will emit some water in defrosting, we don't need this water.
Use Pork Chops that are not too thin or thick because cooking time can vary with the thickness and size of the chops.
Place them in a single layer, and don't overcrowd the basket.
