Notes
Pro Tips:
Choose bone-in pork chops that are exactly 1-inch thick because thinner cuts will dry out in the air fryer's intense heat, while thicker ones won't cook evenly. The bone actually helps regulate temperature and adds flavor. After making this recipe dozens of times, I've learned to brush the garlic butter on halfway through cooking, not at the start. This prevents the garlic from burning while still infusing maximum flavor into the meat. Use fresh garlic and mince it super fine - chunky pieces will burn and turn bitter in the air fryer's concentrated heat. I learned this the hard way when my first batch tasted like charcoal instead of heaven. Flip the chops only once at the 6-minute mark and resist opening the basket repeatedly. Each time you peek, you lose the pressurized hot air circulation that creates that perfect golden crust we're after.
