Air Fryer Pork Chops (Crispy & Juicy)

Air fryer pork chops are a quick and easy way to achieve perfectly crispy and juicy pork chops without the need for oil frying. The air fryer gives them a golden, crispy crust while keeping the inside tender and moist. This method is a healthier and faster alternative to traditional pan-frying or oven-baking.
