- 1 lb pork chops bone in or boneless, about ¾" thick
- Shake n Bake Pork Flavor
- 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat pork chops lightly
Rinse the pork chops after removing them from the package. This insures there are no loose bone fragments from when the butcher cut them. Pat them lightly with some paper towels.
1 lb pork chops
Empty an envelope of the Shake and Bake into a shallow bowl.
Shake n Bake
Brush some olive oil lightly on each side of the pork chops.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Place each pork chop in the bowl of Shake and Bake, turning to coat both sides. Repeat for all four pork chops.PRO TIP: Using a shallow bowl for coating the pork chops ensures a more even coating on both sides. Place the coated pork chops on the basket rack of the air fryer, and air fry at 400F for 12 to 15 minutes, turning the chops after 7 minutes.PRO TIP: For super crispy Shake n Bake pork chops, make sure place on the air fryer basket in a single layer so that there is convection flow of hot air all round each pork chop. The pork chops are cooked when your thermometer registers 145F and the juices run clear. A ThermoPro or similar prong thermometer makes it easy to check!
