Notes

If cooking in multiple batches, the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

Why Did Your Chops Come Out Dry?

They were definitely over cooked. It’s probably because they’re the very thin chops and they needed to be cooked a little less. When you try it again, reduce timing a bit until the chops are cooked to your liking. Also, adding a little more oil spray or coating of oil on the chops will help keep them juicy during cooking.
