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.

Hi Lou! Welcome to air frying! We suggest that you thaw them first before air frying. That way you can ensure that the pork is cooked properly in the center.
