Air Fryer Pork Chops “Shake ’n Bake Style”
Different cuts and thicknesses of pork will determine your final cooking time. After you make your first batch, you'll know what your preferred timing is based on your specific cut of pork chops and size of air fryer. Most of the shake and bake style seasoned breading mixes say to moisten the pork. The boxes often will suggest ice water, egg, &/or milk. We added the mayo part because it's a nice option for extra moist pork chops. And it also helps the breading stick better.
Ingredients
- 3 (6oz.) (170 g) pork chops , rinsed & patted dry
- Ice water, beaten egg, milk, or mayo, to moisten the pork
- Shake ’n Bake Style Seasoned Coating Mix
- Oil spray , to coat the pork chops
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer at 380°F/195°C for 4 minutes.
- Use ice water, beaten egg, milk, or mayo to moisten the pork chops or moisten based on boxed Seasoned Coating Mix instructions. Coat the pork chops with the seasoned coating mix.
- Use oil spray to lightly coat air fryer basket/tray or place a perforated parchment sheet or perforated silicone mat in the air fryer basket/tray & lightly coat with oil spray (this helps keep the coating from sticking and coming off).
- Place the coated pork chops in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Make sure they aren’t touching or the coating may flake off when you flip them. Lightly coat the pork chops with oil spray.
- Air Fry at 380°F/195°C for about 8-12 minutes. After 6 minutes, flip the pork chops and then continue Air Frying for the remainder of time or until golden and internal temperature reaches 145-160°F, depending on your doneness preference.

My parchment paper started on fire during the preheat cycle so watch out. I didn’t use it in the end and pork chops turned out very nice and moist.
HI Jack. I always preheat, then put the parchment paper in. It works great.
I learned the hard way too.
This worked perfectly! I’ve always had an issue getting crispy breading when using my oven. My air fryer knocked this out of the park! Thank you for the tips. I used the oven fry coating with an egg and cooked in my oster air fryer as directed for 12 minutes and they came out insanely perfect!
Hi Seth! Thanks for sharing and we’re so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe.
I love these done with egg batter. Crispy not mushy like oven. My favorite center cut chop recipe by far.
Fantastic, we’re so happy you enjoyed the recipe!
Thanks for the idea. It’s so hot here in NJ I didn’t want to turn the oven on or be outside to grill so it’s rice in the Instant Pot and Air Fried Pork Chops.
Hi Cheryl, when it comes to hot days, air frying is amazing! That’s pretty much how we cook all through Summer.
These were so easy to make in the air fryer. Really great recipe.
The whole family really loved this recipe. Especially the kids. They were gobbling these pork chops up.
This is a really awesome idea. I had some leftover breading mix and followed your instructions. Worked out great! The kids really enjoyed these pork chops.
