Boneless pork chops. Choose chops that have some marbling (the fat in chops gives them their flavor) and have a pinky red color, which indicates freshness.

Thin bacon slices. Thin bacon slices are better for making pork chops wrapped in bacon as they will allow the heat to pass through and cook the pork evenly, and they’ll go lovely and crisp.

Rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. This combination is magical with pork and bacon! If you want to try something different, rosemary and thyme are equally delicious, or paprika and garlic add a smoky, earthy layer.

How to store bacon wrapped pork chops

You can store air fryer bacon wrapped pork chops safely in the fridge for 1-4 days and in the freezer for 1-3 months.

Always ensure that you store them in an airtight container, and move them into the fridge or freezer within 2 hours of cooking to avoid bacterial growth.

How to reheat bacon wrapped pork chops in the air fryer

If you want to reheat leftover bacon wrapped pork chops in the air fryer, begin by preheating it to 375°F. Once it’s hot, lay the pork chops in the basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. If your chops are frozen, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes.

To reheat leftover bacon wrapped pork chops in the oven, preheat it to 350°F. While it’s heating, place the bacon wrapped pork chops in a glass dish and add one tablespoon of water per chop (this prevents them from drying out too much). Wrap the dish in foil and heat in the oven for 30 minutes. If your chops are frozen, you will need to defrost them before heating them.

Use a meat thermometer to check that your chops have reached a safe temperature of 145°F before serving.
