Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F with the basket inside, and set 4 natural pork chops at room temperature.

  2. Place 2 1/2 cups (about 4 1/2 ounces) flavored snack crackers on a baking tray in the air fryer while it heats. Air fry for about 3 minutes, stirring once, until deep golden brown.

  3. Transfer the crackers to a plate to cool for 5 minutes, then crush them until finely ground.

  4. Make shallow 1-inch vertical cuts in the fat cap of the chops to prevent buckling during cooking.

  5. Season the chops with 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, then brush evenly with 1/4 cup mayonnaise.

  6. Coat each chop thoroughly with the crushed crackers, pressing to adhere.

  7. Place the coated chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5 minutes.

  8. Flip the chops and continue air frying for about 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 F.

  9. Transfer the cooked chops to a cooling rack and rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
