This recipe delivers juicy, crispy bone-in pork chops cooked quickly in an air fryer and finished with a rich garlic butter drizzle. Perfect for an easy, flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Pat dry the pork chops to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the pork chops with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, flipping halfway at 6 minutes. Ensure internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. While the pork chops cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in minced garlic and chopped parsley, letting it infuse for 2 minutes off heat.
  7. Brush the cooked pork chops generously with the garlic butter and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat pork chops dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let pork chops rest after cooking to redistribute juices. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or garlic-infused olive oil. Adding crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter adds a spicy kick.
