Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze for up to 3 months wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
- To reheat, defrost overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Then, bake at 350 covered until heated through.
- Rinsing and patting the chops dry ensures your seasonings cling to the pork chops.
- Use low water pressure to wash your chops, so you don't splash bacteria-laden water all over the kitchen.
- While you can use a silicone brush to coat the chops, I find doing it by hand helps coat them more evenly.
- Preheating your air fryer takes only about 5 minutes and yields the best results, so don't skip this step.
- Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute back into the meat.
