Air Fryer Bone-In Pork Chops

Steps

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. If your model does not have a preheat option, run it for about 5 minutes at this temperature.
2. Lay out the pork chops on a platter and drizzle half of the olive oil over them.
3. Use a basting brush or your fingers to ensure both sides of the pork chops are completely coated with oil.
4. Flip the pork chops and apply the remaining oil to the opposite side, ensuring all sides are oiled.
5. In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, black pepper, ground mustard powder, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly mixed.
6. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture onto one side of each pork chop.
7. Use a basting brush to rub the seasoning into the oil on that side of the pork chops.
8. Flip the pork chops and sprinkle the remaining half of the seasoning mixture onto the other side.
9. Rub the seasoning into the oil on the second side until evenly coated.
10. Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer, ensuring they do not overlap (you may need to cook in batches).
11. Cook at 400°F for 10-12 minutes. Check the internal temperature with an instant-read digital meat thermometer.
12. Remove the first batch when the pork reaches a minimum of 145°F internally, ensuring it is not overcooked.
13. Place the second batch in the air fryer (if cooking in batches). You may cover them with foil to keep them moist and warm.
14. Cook the second batch for approximately 10 minutes. Check the internal temperature every time until it reaches a minimum of 145°F internally.
