  1. 01Pat the chops dry.
  2. 02Spray lightly with oil and season both sides.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
  4. 04Let rest for 3 to 5 minutes after cooking. Internal temp: 145°F.
145°F with a rest is the USDA's safe internal temperature for pork, and it's the sweet spot for juicy chops. The old "cook pork to 160°F" advice is outdated and makes dry pork. If you don't have a meat thermometer, this is the food that should convince you to buy one.
