    If you have never tried the famous Shake n’ Bake to make a quick and easy dinner, you are in for a real treat! These Shake and Bake Air Fryer Pork Chops are a quick, easy and delicious dinner that your whole family will love!

    If you are feeling creative, you can also use this recipe to make Shake and Bake Air Fryer Chicken (just adjust your cook times to the size of the chicken you are cooking). Try these Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes or Frozen Cauliflower in Air Fryer as an easy side dish to round out dinner.

    Using the air fryer is one of my favorite ways to make a quick snack or delicious dinner like these Air Fryer Salmon Bites, Air Fryer Chuck Roast and Air Fryer Chicken Fries.

    I also love using my air fryer to reheat pizza in the air fryer or reheat ribs in the air fryer, reheat wings in air fryer (and reheat food in the air fryer)!

    Why this recipe works

    Great family friendly recipe with minimal preparation time that you can pop in your air fryer and have dinner ready in less than 30 minutes! Frozen curly fries in the air fryer is an easy size that goes well with these shake n bake pork chops.

    Shake n’ Bake is a quick and easy way to elevate your dinner to the next level. It is also a healthier dinner option because you can use your air fryer and avoid deep frying!

    Quick and easy cleanup using your air fryer is always a win in the kitchen!

    How to make shake and bake pork chops in the air fryer

    process shot to make ingredients used to make air fryer shake and bake pork chops
    • Optional: Lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray.
    • Preheat air fryer to 400°F
    • Crack both eggs into small bowl.

    • Place shake n bake pork chops into air fryer basket. Do not overlap or crowd air fryer basket.
    • Then air fry shake and bake pork chops on 400°F for approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
    • Flip and cook for another 6 to 8 minute (approximately) until cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160°F.
    • Depending on your air fryer, the size of your fryer basket and amount of pork chops in the basket, you can cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until you reach your desired level of crispness and internal temperature as needed.

    Pre-Heating Air Fryer: I recommend pre-heating air fryer. However, if you choose not to pre-heat, add about 3-4 minutes to your cook time. Check for crispiness at the end of your cook time and add additional cook time as needed until your pork chops reach correct internal temperature as recommended by FDA.

    This recipe works well with any brand of air fryer including Ninja Foodi, Gourmia, Vortex, Nuwave, Cuisinart, Cosori, Power XL and Power Air.

    Do you use egg before shake and bake?

    The standard instructions on the Shake n’ Bake box do not require the use of an egg. However, this air fryer shake and bake pork chop recipes uses eggs as a binder. This allows for more of that delicious crunchy shake and bake bread crumb coating to stick to the pork chops.
