In my opinion, pork chops are one of the most underrated cuts of protein. They can be juicy or dry, tender or tough...all depending on the proper cut and the proper cooking technique. For juicy pork chops, I love to buy ribeye cut chops. They make these air fryer pork chops with no breading so flavorful and tender!

I like to use a medium thickness boneless pork chop, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. I think thick pork chops can be great, but they tend to be tough. Thin pork chops overcook before they get a nice color on the inside, especially in the air fryer.

This easy recipe produces some of the best pork chops. The seasoning is so simple...it is another great addition to my collection of easy air fryer recipes.

This is the perfect recipe for busy weeknights and for picky family members. Serve with simple low carb side dishes to make a healthy complete meal everyone will love.

What is the secret to making tender pork chops?

The most important thing is to not overcook your pork chops. Pork chops are best when they are cooked to 145F and no more. Use an internal meat thermometer to test. Some other ways to get tender pork chops is to buy them with marbled fat. That's what makes meat tender. The ribeye pork chops I used for the air fryer pork chops recipe were perfectly tender.
