PORK CHOPS ARE VARIOUS CUTS “CHOPPED” FROM THE LOIN.
They can be bone-in or boneless and can vary in thickness. A versatile cut, chops can be grilled, pan-fried, roasted, or cooked sous vide. Thicker chops benefit from longer, lower heat or reverse searing, while thinner chops cook quickly.

Air Fryer
Brush pork chops with oil and season with salt, pepper, or your favourite spice mix. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 10–15 minutes (depending on thickness), flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C). Let rest before serving.
Oven
Brush pork chops with some oil and season with your favourite spice mix or salt and pepper.
Season chops and sear in oil over medium-high heat until browned, about 60-90 seconds per side. Transfer to a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness) or until internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C). Let rest before serving.
