Can the recipe be doubled?

This recipe is very easily adjustable. For most standard 4-6qt air fryers, 4 pork chops can fit comfortably. Simply double all the ingredients except the egg. One egg should be just fine for 4 pork chops.

Can I use bone-in pork chops?

You sure can. The cooking time may need to be increased by a couple of minutes. Be sure to use an instant read thermometer and pull the chops at 140°F and let rest for 5 minutes.

Why pull the pork chops at 140°F?

They will continue to cook for a few minutes after coming out of the air fryer. Pulling the chops at 140°F allows carryover cooking to bring them to the safe final temperature of 145°F while keeping them tender and juicy instead of overcooked.
